Reavers of Khelreach
The Reavers of Khelreach are a band of Dwarven raiders operating out of the Khelreach Range. Begining in Kaisihatch 200IE, the reavers have emerged from the mountains struck villages and rest stops throughout the northern foothills of the Kingdom of Farraige, as well as the occasional sighting in the Kingdom of Upper Siar.
Structure
The reavers appear to operate in groups resembling the structure of a Dwarven warband, with roughly 40 Dwarves led by a captain making up the raiding parties. They are also said to utilise Canodemons as scouts and trackers.
Culture
The reavers do not appear to resemble the dwarves of Khel Doran or the other Dwarven strongholds. Their armour is adorned with strange inscriptions and runes, recognisable to few. Their extremely pale, sickly skin bares similar markings, either tattoed or scarred into their flesh.
Accounts of survivors seem to indicate that there are more than one group within the reavers. In one attack on the village of Montagne, a surviving barmaid described the attackers as having rotting flesh and a putrid stench. Another annecdote in Waye tells of a blood soaked banner, with the dwarves bearing it covered in scars across all of their visible flesh, conducting acts of mutilation on the corpses of the dead. A third group has also been identified, smelling of strong perfumes and wearing purple heraldry whom engaged in acts of utter debauchery that the survivor refrained from describing in detail.

History
The Khelreach Reavers were first encountered at the Reachside Inn in Northern Farraige in Kaisihatch 200IE. The reavers assaulted the Inn, inflicting untold horrors on its patrons before slaughtering them and burning the establishment to the ground.
Territories
The Reavers are believed to occupy hidden headquarters in the Khelreach Range. It is unknown if they are stationary or nomadic.
Technological Level
Utilise Dwarven equipment that seems to be of the Elven Age.
Foreign Relations
The Reavers are actively hunted by the military forces of the Kingdom of Farraige, but they have been unable to decisively engage them.
Ethics
The Reavers appear to pay homage to three distinct divine entities, with each warband sighted conducting different rituals during their raids. Each warband behaves differently, with the aftermath of their raids serving as a calling card of sorts for the warband that conducted it.
