The Displaced
Status: Allied
Encountered: Entry 11 Current Base: Displaced Camp in The Frost
The Displaced are a resistance group comprised of outcasts, refugees, and rebels currently operating out of a hidden network of caverns in The Frost. They are led by Lady Bromelia, who revealed to us that she was not kidnapped from her wedding, but rather left willingly to lead this group.
Overview
We first encountered The Displaced after being captured by their sentries in the spider tunnels beneath the mountains. While initially hostile, treating us as intruders, the situation changed rapidly once Lady Bromelia recognised Lavender.
The organisation describes themselves not as revolutionaries, but as rebels. While many members are driven by a desire for revenge against the establishment that wronged them, Bromelia is attempting to channel that anger into a structured force capable of finding a permanent home.
Composition
The group is a “hodge-podge” settlement representing a vast array of races, including orcs, half-orcs, dragonborn, humans, halflings, gnomes, and elves.
- Demographics: The population consists almost entirely of young adults, with some babies and children. Notably, there are no elderly members present.
- Culture: They appear to function as a mobile city or army. We observed blacksmiths sharpening weapons (twin blades, claymores, halberds), mages practising spells, and cooks preparing food in a communal canteen.
- Language: They communicate using a gravelly, throaty language that Theren was unable to identify or understand.
Objectives
According to Lady Bromelia, the cavern system they currently occupy is no longer feasible due to their growing numbers. They are essentially nomads looking for a fortified, permanent home.
Their primary target is the city of Arcadia.
- The Threat: Arcadia is currently hosting a necromancer base under the control of Avalon.
- The Goal: Seize Arcadia to provide a safe haven for The Displaced and remove the necromancer threat.
Notable Members
- Lady Bromelia: The leader of the group. She coordinates strategy from a “war room” and has been working with the resistance since before her “abduction”.
- Elven Wizard: A researcher in the camp who identified the source of Theren’s power as a Great Old One associated with the colour gold.
Our Interactions
We have agreed to aid The Displaced in their campaign against Arcadia. Bromelia presented us with three potential strategies for the assault, including an option to strike “from within,” which relies heavily on Lavender’s family connections.
Orion has noted that his interests align with The Displaced, as the necromancers are a common enemy of his order.
