Faction name: The Bland Band
-History

The “Black Band” as they label themselves are a bandit group based in Valenwood. The Bandit group over the years has been known for looting caravans, and a lot of botched looting runs resulting in grave losses for their members. However times have changed under new leadership of Bandit Chief Arnor Duskgrove… thing has started to change.
For most of the Forth Era, he has allied with the Thieves guild , a few local unorganized bandit camps and other traders and “diplomats” alike to form the band. With over 500 members, they managed to keep it down low for the most part.
There major stronghold to date is nearby to Haven, a small fort that was abandoned by the Valenwood military during a “raid” , the fort now has become there main planning ground to date, repelling and surviving for over 5 to 7 years.
The Black Band, were first regarded has an average bandit group, but with the introductions of various other players and other races into the mix , questions have been asked … are they a bandit group or something bigger then one?
