Brigand

Overview

Brigands are masters of cunning, dwelling in the shadows and motivated by their personal gain. They possess an insatiable desire to acquire whatever they can, resorting to theft to secure an advantage. Proficient with precision weaponry, such as daggers and crossbows, they also create poisons to assist in any situation.

History & Lifestyle

Brigands are often outcasts and orphans born into poverty who discover a sense of belonging within their guilds. These groups welcome anyone of any species who seek to join their ranks, making Brigands one of the most diverse classes in Basilda’an.

Most Brigands prefer working in groups, where they share knowledge, techniques, and pilfered goods. These tightly knit communities not only foster a sense of belonging and security but also present collaborative opportunities for more significant tasks. They adhere to their own code of conduct, often including principles like refraining from harming innocents, honoring their commitments, and safeguarding their own kind. Nonetheless, many Brigands choose to ignore these codes and live a life detached from any formal orders.

Brigands typically live in concealed hideouts or safe houses, strategically positioned in remote areas or amid bustling cities, allowing them to vanish or blend into their surroundings with ease. The largest groups are located at the northern and southern extremities of the world. In the north, they occupy The Strand, an inhospitable and barren region void of civilization. In the south, they occupy the tropical islands of Westram and Eastram, known worldwide as Brigand Bay.

Temperament

Brigands are known for their sharp intellect, versatility, and resourcefulness. Brigands possess a natural affinity for secrecy, often opting for the covert path rather than confronting their enemies head-on. While their activities may be morally ambiguous, Brigands are not always inherently evil. Their motives and allegiances vary from person to person, but the underlying principles of self-preservation and survival remain paramount.
