The Outcasts were a group of Elves that claimed to have been cast out of Ilithi by a pact between Corik and Morganae. They had lived generations and grown strong in the Velka Desert northwest of Therengia and in the year 375 AV they brought an army out of the deserts on a march back to Shard, led by King Raenilar. This attack and the following occupation of Ilithi would last several years and be known as the Outcast War.
Symbol of the King
The Warrior King Raenilar bestows his mark on any whom serve him. Mostly having images of a flame-wreathed lion, the item to which the mark is placed differs.
Raenilar: some black battle leathers emblazoned with a flame-wreathed lion
Koromas: a black leather baldric fastened with a silver buckle in the shape of a flame-wreathed lion
Yhaman: some fine Elven chainmail etched with a flame-wreathed lion
Tiso: a brushed silver cloak pin set with a tiny glass figure of a flame-wreathed lion filled with glittering sand
Artifacts
Few artifacts have been recovered from the time period which the outcast's ancestors lived in the land that is now shard. Only three have been made public.
a faded arzumos hide scroll. It is very old... something about a road or journey. The writing is not clearly in a language that is understood. The badly worn and faded, the tattered hide depicts a line of Elves being forcibly marched away from a small island upon which a new city is being built. Almost all are burdened with heavy packs, overloaded carts and small children. The scroll has on it writing that reads: "Yol Malcisen... Uskela'jama..."
a chipped ceramic bowl. Though quite faded, the center of the bowl is painted with what appears to be a small island village in the middle of a crystalline lake. Around the rim are various scenes depicting what appear to be Elves engaged in battle or a bloody sport of some type.
a rough stone tablet. A relief depicting small groups of what appear to be Elves surrounded by larger, armed groups of indeterminate race is carved on the stone's rough surface. In the background, a small island village burns.
Sealed in Water
Water to the Outcasts is a sacred source of all life, thus its sybollic nature is nearly limitless. It is often uses by two people as they enter a pact togeather. The pact is made to honor a deal or trade, in respect to their mutual benefit though the transaction. The two share a single vessel of water and after both have drank from it fully they are expected to be bound to their agreement.
Horsemasters
For many years now the Outcasts have been working on developing thier own breed of horse, the Zeharca. Deals with the trader Ishtvan has allowed many on the mainland to experiance this breed and continued interest has made the buisness of horse breeding profitable for the Tribe.
