The Bluff Hills

The Bluff Hills formed part of the Bandit Kingdoms simply because no-one else bothered to claim this monster infested land. Ferocious hill ogres, trolls, hill giants, and flying monsters from the Griffs dissuaded most attempts to mine the silver and copper said to lie below them. There are deep mines worked by svirfnebli, but they lie far below the surface. The Bluff Hills also boast groups of the Eiger tribe of orcs, separated from the main body of their people, but proudly independent, resisting all attempts to recruit them into Iuz's armies. Around 1,500 free bandits roam through these hills too. They are very ill-equipped, but mount raids with the desperation of those with nothing much to lose.
