Outlander

Outlanders philosophy is that freedom is paramount in all things. Many confuse the cabal as a nature first cabal but in truth freedom comes first. Nature is rooted in freedom and opportunity and this is why outlanders have turned to it.

Orderly society are designed to enslave the masses and through means such as distributed wealth (coin) they are easily driven to live a certain way and prop up the very system that enslaves them. In the end, all their hard work and toil benefits only the richest and most powerful and they are stuck under tyranny, unable to truly see beyond the walls that imprison them.

The Outlanders also show great disdain for that which does not belong in this world and that which is inherently against freedom. Those who bind beings or control them through magic, creatures who come from other planes, creatures who show no regard for the freedom of others and those who selfishly pillage the land in which mortals have been given to be free.

There are three branches of outlanders:

First are the Wardens. The wardens seek to heal and to grow new life. This is not always literal. The wardens want to bring freedom to the masses and show them the way forward. Planting the idea of freedom into the minds of the people can grow into true action and do more good than any burning could ever do. A warden fights evil, but without the same intent as a maran would. A warden understands the way of the world and knows for their own survival and for the better of the many, evil must be kept in its place and shown strength.

Second are the Reavers. The reavers purpose is to burn the old to usher in the new. Contrary to popular believe, a reaver is not a free pass to kill indiscriminately. A reaver is granted great power by the ancients to kill the enemies of Thar-eris. Anyone can kill at random and be bloodthirsty, a reaver must have purpose in their actions. Order of any kind is doomed to them, there is no hope for those weak enough to be enslaved. For this reason generally, many reavers loathe the branch of the wardens, but this is not always the case.

Third are the Sentinels. Perhaps with the most difficult job of the branches, the sentinel must act as just that. Sentinels. They protect the tree from dangers within and without and bridge any gap the tree may be suffering. They must not fall into darkness or become too soft. There life is full of trials and it is a difficult thing for a sentinel to make true friends knowing they may need fight one of their own someday.

Things TO DO in if you want to roll an outlander:

- Spend time in the wilderness. It shows a rejection of society and order.
- Fighting enemies of freedom or creatures that defile Thar-eris.
- Perform quests for nature mobs or quests against order.
- PK the enemies of the outlander cabal.
- Destroy coins.
- Learn to travel avoiding roads/cities.
- Use Guilds outside of tribunal cities. Preferably in the wilderness. Obviously not all classes have wilderness guilds but many do. ASK!
- BARTER, even for practices/trains. This is not as hard as some may think. Ask fellow outlanders.
- Send a note to outlander explaining why you want to be an outlander.

Things NOT TO DO if you want to roll an outlander:

- Do not do quests for enemies of the cabal.
- Do not do quests for wealth.
- Do not carry coins. Do not buy or sell.
- Do not hang around in cities. Do not use cities as shelter.
- Do not group with orderly PCs.
- Do not use mercenaries. They are motivated by greed and tools of order. (I do hope sometime we get barter-only mercs)
