Everlaen:Half-Elven Renegades

Ignored by most and disliked by more than a few, the half elves of the High Forest are a mixed bunch. Blending bloodlines from the last survivors of fallen Earlann, the wild elf tribes and even drow along with humans from Netheril or more modern settlements. Too small in numbers and too diverse in motivations and background the half-elves have hardly been a cause for concern or interest, living mostly in the areas of the forest others would not. Until recently the main mention of these renegades was mostly in context with bandits, robbing those who were unwary or too weak and strayed too close to their lands. Recently however rumours of a strong leader who has been uniting the renegades has crept out. This individual is reputed to be a Princess of more than a little drow decent and has succeeded in amassing a much larger and more organised group of followers than has been seen before from these troubled individuals. Tales of organised banditry extending well beyond the forest`s border and raiding parties into human lands have surfaced with some regularity. Others tales speak of the Princess` devotion to a terrible and long dead god and her establishment of a cult to bring him back to power. Still others claim that she is the last heir to Earlann and though possessing debased blood is seeking to create some mirror of her ancestors` former glory. Whatever the truth, the half-elves remain largely unorganised and disparate, their aims vague and minor - at least to outside world.
