Half-Elven Renegades

The Half-Elven Renegades is the name given to a group of bandits who raided along the Delimbiyr circa 1372 DR.

Leadership
"Princess" Tianna Skyflower leads the Renegades, who have been shaped by her to believe that they are the rightful descendants of Earlann. Some sages even believe that Tianna may really be descended from the Earlanni ruling house. Tianna's lieutenants are known as "Barons" to further her own perception as a royal. Only one Baron has ever been recorded as being encountered: Rudain, who was a Ranger put in charge of the Renegade base at the Cavern of Blooming Stone.

Membership
Every member of the group is a half-elf or a human with a significant amount of elven ancestry. It is unknown if the humans have to prove their lineage somehow. At least one member of a cell of Renegades has access to natural magic in order to use the High Forest itself to foil those attempting to pursue fleeing Renegade parties. True Neutral and Chaotic Evil members work alongside the more common Chaotic Neutral aligned members.

Organization
Cells of Renegades are organized into groups of roughly twenty. Three quarters go out on raids while the other quarter consists of followers who cook and clean for the warriors. These cells know their way around the southern High Forest and always choose sites that were once occupied by Earlanni elves as bases. The group's main base has never been found by anyone who lived to tell the tale but is known to be somewhere near Shining Falls.

Activities
The Renegades have been raiding along the River Shining for years now, from Shining Falls to Secomber but occasionally going as far west as Daggerford. Their main source of income is ransom demands on those they kidnap. They keep the demands low and never harm their captives so as to make it more likely that the demand will be paid but if noone pays up, captives are then sold to the Zhentarim as slaves.

Since the freeing of the Fey'ri, the Renegades have found very well-paying work kidnapping gold elves for them so that they can breed the captives with demons to create more of their kind. Of course if Tianna were to find out what the elves were being used for, she would immediately stop the trade so the Fey'ri disguise themselves as members of the Arcane Brotherhood and pay for the elves with Earlanni artifacts.
