North Border Militants

Breland and Aundair did not engage in extensive campaigns against each other, but members of both populations still raise their hackles at the mention of the other. This is particularly true of Aundairians and Reachers near the borders, whose national pride and tales of Brelish invasions early in the war have kept the coals of anger stoked. On occasion, agitators, from old soldiers to teenage punks, steal across the border and rob, vandalize, or torch Brelish communities and caravans. To date, King Boranel hasn’t increased military presence on the border, hoping not to offend Breland’s relatively nonhostile northern neighbors (unlike those to the east and west), but the people who dwell near the border are demanding action. It might be only a matter of time until Brelish citizens launch “counterattacks” into Aundair or the Reaches.
