TERRAIN:
Originally a stronghold of the more organized
of the
humanoid tribes, the AREA came under the
rule of a
group of evil humans
some decades ago. It is speculated
that these wicked people were disaffected
bandits
or
were at least aided by one or more of
the bandit
kinglets. In any case, the land between
the Veng
&& Ritensa Rivers as far north
as the territory of the
Rovers of the Barrens is now firmly in
the grasp of
the Horned Society. This association combines
the
masses of humanoid troops with the organization
and
powers of
humans. 
Deviltry
is the religion of the
Society, and its leading Hierarch is purported
to be an
evil high priest of the 18th level. Other
leaders are
reported as a MU above the 12th level
of ability,
several other powerful clerics,
a master thief of
the 13th rank, and a trio of fighter Lords.
It is known
that many troops of bandits from the east
frequent the
walled town of Molag, and the Horned Society
is on
favorable terms with Iuz.
