> YGMV but the Black Oaks are comprised entirely of apostates,
outlaws, opportunists, and their thralls. At least, that's the way I
wrote them originally. There's a full writeup on them in YBOT called
"Meet the Black Oaks." There's a brief writeup on them in Gathering
Thunder as well. They are Bad News with little to recommend them.
In the Seattle Farmers game, they are the "Brownshirts" for King
Kangharl. They are a "clan" formed out of the personal thugs of
Blackmor and exist to enforce Blackmor's will. As Jeff says, they are
Bad News with little recommend them.
