The Marauders are a faction of homins that come from the Old Lands. They are descendants of homins that were abandoned and left behind in the Old Lands during the Kitin War, yet survived the kitin onslaught. Rather than rejoin the civilisations in the New Lands like the many homin refugees who also travelled from the Old Lands, the Marauders have sworn revenge against the homins of the New Lands for leaving them behind.

Not too much is known about the Marauders and what we do know mostly comes from what the Marauders themselves have chosen to reveal, so may not even be true. It is certain that their numbers are large, however, possibly larger than those of any other known homin faction.

Only a handful of Marauders are known to us by name. The Marauders have had many agents and spies in the New Lands, among these is counted Nung Hirongi, traitor of the Cho dynasty.

The Clans

The Marauders are grouped in clans, with each clan being autonomous. Despite each clan's autonomy a warlord rules over all the clans. The current warlord of the Marauders is known as Melkiar the Black Varinx.

The clan that first appeared in the New Lands and made the first attacks on the homin nations was known as the Throat Cutter Clan. It is unknown if subsequent attacks were still by the same clan, or by different clans. It is also unknown how many clans there are, making it impossible to guess the number of Marauders still out there.

Language

It has been suggested that the Marauders have developed a language of their own, whether this is true or not has yet to be seen. What is certain though is that most Marauders speak with a strong accent which cannot be traced back to any found currently in the New Lands.

Religion

Marauders claim to be free of any and all influences from both the Kami and the Karavan, and look down with contempt upon those who revere them as divine.

Technology

The Marauders are shrouded in mystery and it is often said that they possess strange technology that has never been seen in the New Lands. Certainly, the armour worn by some of the Marauder leaders was not known in the New Lands until they brought it there.

It is believed that a mysterious substance referred to as matoxia is somehow tied to Marauder technology. The Marauders also seem to have no qualms about using Goo in their weaponry.
