Teryxian Outlanders

Most believe the Outlanders to be single- mindedly dedicated to the eradication of the Banyari. Indeed many are, hoping to eventually claim Banyan for their own, as they still blame the Banyari for the destruction of Quill. But most of the Outlanders have lived upon Banyan for many, many generations at this point, and some of the younger Teryxians there, while doubting the justness of their cause, nevertheless view Banyan as their rightful home.

The Scholar-Priests of the Last Spire have long since ceased commenting on the war effort on Banyan, and many have taken that as a sign that the ruling power of Quill is no longer officially invested in the outcome of the War of Leaves. But Outlanders continue to get support in the form of food and supplies from Quill, so it is very likely that they have sympathizers at all levels of Teryxian society.

Outlanders rarely move in anything other than large patrols, and it is not uncommon for them to have temporarily bonded with some beast of Banyan’s forest to take advantage of the animal’s strength or senses. One never knows who or what may be spying for the Outlanders in the Great Forest. There are even rumors that some of the Outlanders have learned the techniques that allow the Grymalkyn to shadow walk.
