'''The Wanderers''' consisted of nearly two dozen [[Vistani]] of different [[tasque|tasques]] and [[tribe|tribes]] who had escaped destruction at the hands of [[Duke Gundar]] and were cobbled together by [[Magda Ilyanova Kulchevich]] in the years immediately following the [[murder]] of her family and tribesmen by [[Lord Soth]] in [[720 BC]]. Magda served the tribe, named in honour of the fabled Vistani [[hero]] [[Kulchek the Wanderer]], as [[raunie]]. Under her strong leadership and with the swelling of their ranks, a situation that had been desperate for the Wanderers became manageable. The destruction of Duke Gundar in [[736 BC]] further improved their circumstances. Their growing sense of security, however, was shattered in [[747 BC]] when the newly arisen [[Malocchio Aderre]] launched a [[pogrom]] against the Vistani. The western half of [[Gundarak]] had been annexed by [[Invidia]] following the disappearance of its duke and Aderre's killers were all too willing to push into neighbouring lands including the eastern half of Gundarak that had been annexed by [[Barovia]]. Magda responded by leading the Wanderers into [[Sithicus]] where she forged a [[pact]] with Lord Soth, securing for the tribe protection against Malocchio. For a time the Wanderers went securely about their business as [[fortune teller|fortune tellers]], [[trader|traders]], and [[thief|thieves]]. Unfortunately by [[752 BC]] [[Inza Magdova Kulchevich|Inza]], daughter of Magda, and [[Azrael]], senecheal of Lord Soth, were [[conspiring]] with each other and with Malocchio against their respective rulers. In consequence, all but four of the Wanderers - Inza, [[Alexi (of the Wanderers)|Alexi]], [[Nikolas]] and [[Piotr]] - were wiped out in an attack upon the tribe by [[Salt Shadow|salt shadows]]. Inza replaced her mother as raunie, but her [[treachery]] was eventually uncovered and she was put to flight, becoming the [[Darklord]] of Sithicus. The Wanderers now hunt her, seeking to avenge themselves for her betrayal and for the deaths of their tribesmen. To their ranks they have, exceptionally, added the [[stone giant]] [[Nabon]].

The Wanderers consisted of nearly two dozen Vistani of different tasques and tribes who had escaped destruction at the hands of Duke Gundar and were cobbled together by Magda Ilyanova Kulchevich in the years immediately following the murder of her family and tribesmen by Lord Soth in 720 BC. Magda served the tribe, named in honour of the fabled Vistani hero Kulchek the Wanderer, as raunie. Under her strong leadership and with the swelling of their ranks, a situation that had been desperate for the Wanderers became manageable. The destruction of Duke Gundar in 736 BC further improved their circumstances. Their growing sense of security, however, was shattered in 747 BC when the newly arisen Malocchio Aderre launched a pogrom against the Vistani. The western half of Gundarak had been annexed by Invidia following the disappearance of its duke and Aderre's killers were all too willing to push into neighbouring lands including the eastern half of Gundarak that had been annexed by Barovia. Magda responded by leading the Wanderers into Sithicus where she forged a pact with Lord Soth, securing for the tribe protection against Malocchio. For a time the Wanderers went securely about their business as fortune tellers, traders, and thieves. Unfortunately by 752 BC Inza, daughter of Magda, and Azrael, senecheal of Lord Soth, were conspiring with each other and with Malocchio against their respective rulers. In consequence, all but four of the Wanderers - Inza, Alexi, Nikolas and Piotr - were wiped out in an attack upon the tribe by salt shadows. Inza replaced her mother as raunie, but her treachery was eventually uncovered and she was put to flight, becoming the Darklord of Sithicus. The Wanderers now hunt her, seeking to avenge themselves for her betrayal and for the deaths of their tribesmen. To their ranks they have, exceptionally, added the stone giant Nabon. The Wanderers are a force for good in Sithicus.[1]
