Tarmec's Rovers

Tarmec's Rovers is a group of gnolls that follow Tarmec, one of the beast demons. They are mainly characterized by their blackened teeth and claws and the specific black fang necklace they wear.

Goals and execution

The main goal of Tarmec's Rovers is to ascend Tarmec into becoming one of the demon lords of the Abyss and thus gaining more power from him and expand their territory in Tarmec's name. In order to ascend Tarmec, the gnolls perform various rituals on humanoids before sacrificing them into the Crack. The gnolls raid farms, villages and sometimes trading caravans across the Rover Hills to gather humanoids for this process.

Territory

Tarmec's Rovers roam the plains between the Burram Woods and the Crack. While it was historically known by a different name, the plains are now known as the Rover's Hills. These plains has shallow hills the gnolls use to hide in and to setup their temporary camps.
Within the Rover's Hills, the gnolls have two important sites. The first one is their main encampment, which is a tent camp surrounded by a crude palisade. The other site is the Tarmec ritual site, which the gnolls use to perform their rituals. The ritual site is located next to the Crack, about one day walking south of the main encampment.
While Tarmec's Rovers do not fully occupy the Rover Hills, their presence there has deterred trade from freely moving through the plains.
