The Barbarez Legion

The Barbarez Legion
A faction in Ravenloft

The Barbarez Legion is a mercenary band comprised solely of gnolls who engage in carnage to honor the demon lord Yeenoghu. Their lust for gold and plunder is outpaced only by their love of bloodshed. The gnolls of the Barbarez Legion serve anyone depraved and wealthy enough to employ them. The contract insisted upon by the Barbarez Legion is simple: they expect to be paid well to fight on behalf of their employer, and they reserve the right to feast upon the carcasses of their fallen foes and deceased allies when battle has concluded.

The warriors of the Barbarez Legion are likely to be found in any domain when military conflict is imminent or ongoing. They might appear in Falkovnia, offering to engage the undead hordes that besiege Levkarest, or they may enter into a contract to repel the advances of the faceless warriors who continually assault Staunton Bluffs. When not under contract as soldiers, they operate as brigands and raiders.
