The Falconhand Rebels

Lead by Aella Loreweaver, the Falconhand Rebels form the heart of the resistance against the Order of the Silver Hand. They have pushed back against every step the order has made within the Weald, slowing their progress to such a degree that they were forced to hole up at Fivespire Keep.

The rebels do not have a strict leaderships structure, rather relying on small groups and cells trusting one another and accept advice from those that have more experience or information. For this reason, Aella Loreweaver does not have a title, she simply knows the forests better than most and has an uncanny knack for predicting the order's actions before they happen. This shifting, non-hierarchical structure makes the rebels unpredictable and independent. Each subgroup is able to act entirely without orders from above, coordinated only by advice and intelligence from collectively gathered intelligence. Even the name "The Falconhand Rebels" was applied by the Order of the Silver Hand. The rebels see rebellion as something they do rather than something that they are, and groups will assist the rebels on a temporary and issue-specific basis.

The Varrendir
The Vae'Hilé tribe, the Varrendir, have been travelling the Weald for centuries, moving between seasonal hunting grounds to pursue their prey.
