Editing Daily Life Under the Shadow (section)

====Raiders and Freeriders====
Even under the Shadow there is life and some small
degree of hope. North of the Pelluria, sheltered in the eaves
of the great forest and roaming free upon the Plains of Eris
Aman, House Redgard still fights for its people. With the help
of the Caransil and supposedly led by Roland, prince of
House Redgard, these insurgents have brought thousands of
refugees into the forest. While in some cases a burden to the
elves, these refugees have also assisted the war effort by
occupying elven villages that had to be abandoned when the
Witch Queen ran out of troops with which to defend them.
The raiders exist in a nest of uneasy freedom that is buffered
on the south by the Foul Bog of Eris Aman and to the northeast
by the ruins of Cale. With the Shadow focusing it efforts
well to the south and so many troublesome obstacles in the
way, only the orc garrisons of Fallport and Steel Hill remain
to harry the Redgards.
Meanwhile, many true heirs of Southern Erenland are
said to lead camps of freeriders south of the Ardune. While
the Shadow’s control here is absolute, the enemy has grown
complacent. There are no battle lines, something that the
clever insurgents use to their advantage. These noble princes
raid caravans, free slaves, and keep the traditions and tales of
their people alive while their usurpers lounge in palaces and
let the great Sarcosan cities fall into decadence and ruin.
