The Old World: Grim and Perilous

wanderer
Outlaw
Outlaws are those individuals who live outside the law, either by necessity or choice.
Commonly applied to wanted criminals or those evading the authorities for other
reasons. Often found outside of populated areas in the wilderness, most outlaws
survive off the hard work of others, stealing, coercing, or extorting travelers on the
roads and byways of the Old World. Some have noble causes, supporting the poor
and forgotten against tyrannical government, but most are just common bandits.
