The 'Enclave'

****SECRETS FOR THE DM****
In recent years, a small and so-far secret cadre of <10 Enclave followers have decided to take a violent approach to "problem solving". A halfling leads them. (Think of the town council in Hot Fuzz for some inspiration, but again with hippie overtones.) They strongly believe that mercantilism, selfishness and the will to profit/power will doom the delicate Enclave community. They do not tamper with traveling merchants, but have secretly carried out the killing (staged after the fact as accidents) of six people in the last few years: crimes included shirking hard work while taking the same cut of resources ('gaming the system'), cutting deals with merchant caravans for money without pitching it into the shared Enclave fund, and anti-social behaviour at group functions that sowed doubt about the Enclave philosophy.
(Zeer gets 'bad vibes' from the aformentioned halfling but has no idea they've been doing this.)
