The Bandit Lands

The Bandit Lands are the most chaotic and uncontrolled of all Iuz's captured domains. This is due to their sheer size. If one includes the Fellreev Forest, these lands are larger than the Horned and Shield Lands combined. It is simply impossible for any occupier to fully control this territory, just as no single bandit chieftain, no matter how powerful, could ever have ruled them all in the two centuries of their existence prior to the wars.

Rather, Iuz's forces have secured key cities, towns and settlements, and recruited as many of the generally evil bandits to their cause as possible. Some 10,000 of the bandits have become part of Iuz's troops and raiders, swelling his armies considerably. However, there are great swathes of the land where only chaos reigns. In some areas, Iuz's forces may only have been seen once or twice in all the time since the wars began. In others, bandits are left to their own lives as long as they don't dare to oppose the might of Iuz.
