Hi Everyone,
It has been a little over two years since the last time I made a faction and one of my longtime playtesters and friend has been working on a faction that is morally grey, but not as twisted as the Helix Commission.
Who are the Vagari Ryoshi
The Vagari Ryoshi are a group of highly experience individuals that operate outside the authority and laws of the Hunter's Guild. They are officially labeled as poachers, but are far more capable and disciplined than a common ruffian.
While they are a faction, they are not organized. Each Vagari works alone and follows their own personal code and pursues their own goals. They may temporarily cooperate with the Hunters Guild (unbeknownst to the guild), rival organizations, or other factions whenever doing so serves their interests, but they hold no permanent allegiance.
Despite their outlaw status, Vagari often have good relationships with rural villages and towns. They may give excess monster materials and supplies to isolated villages and protect them from monsters or raiders when the Guild cannot or choses not to respond. As a result, villagers frequently shelter them, mislead Guild Knights, or pretend not to know anything about them.
This faction is one that blends well with others. It has its own background, because I felt it was needed, but you can play a Vagari and take any of the factions backgrounds due to your choice in working with those organizations, while keeping your Vagari title a secret.
Overall I think its an interesting concept for a faction and wanted to include it in the books. Please have a read and let me know what you think!
