Bandits of Rathnir

One of the main struggles in Rathnir is between settled builders and farmers against Bandits. All it takes to be an effective bandit is to be good at pvp and be willing to kill, steal, destroy, and extort others and their towns. A bandit is distinguished from destructive players by being

In Jagdas, banditry was primarily practiced by organized groups: Crab Season and WesButSackClub came later. In Rathnir, banditry is primarily practiced on an individual basis.

WhiteTrucker
The first bandit on the server, who killed 9 people on the first day in Rathnir, looted from a few towns, and destroyed spawn beds.

TheRealJay2
The first notable bandit, started raiding in late September before the Turtle Wars. He would show up at a town and demand payment or else he would kill and raid them. Notably raided Urnu-Arrak and killed all in a 5v1, escaping the rest. He attacked many other towns and successfully killed and extorted money from them. His attack on the village Sticks was his first unsuccessful attempt, and he was driven out. Yimmu-Audal originally paid TheRealJay2 off, then hired him as a privateer, and then incorporated him as the empire's Supreme Military Commander. He settled down at this point.

Dagonashibal
Bandit who raided a few towns preceding the Turtle Wars, bought stolen loot, and messed with the nether highway.

HesVinnie & HesWinnie
A Goblin Bandit duo which has been the longest running operation in the game. A few towns have built functional walls to protect from the goblin brothers, as they have raided several towns, killed many players, and even spawned a wither on the city of Carvay.

The Pillagers
A group of bandits with an undisclosed amount of people, led by Dexter_Og / O6dity. This particular group is slightly more organized and far more active than most of the other notable bandits on the server. They have taken on several large nations and used sly tactics and cunning to win some wars in a backhanded fashion*. This group, specifically ViewedMarquis and Dexter Og (and others) perpetrated several slaughters, one of the main ones being the Red Coronation, where the duo killed 19 of the 24 attendees in a brutal and violent slaughter. They also killed some 10 people at Sovdal, along with other killings dotting the entire world of Rathnir. Dexter Og also griefed his own build, The Last Bastion*, in response to the Trillium Alliance declaring war on it due to its "occupation of bandits." Dexter OG is sometimes called "The Dark Lord" and "The Monkey God" but is more commonly referred to as "Asshole" and "Terrorist" and Etc.

MineDodge
MineDodge is a periodic raider who appears and individually raids towns. He has done most of his raids in the southwest- Uldarash, destroying Wurmbo's artifact boots, and starting an insurgency there. He's also attacked people of the Silver Coalition and Sironia on separate raids.

Dodgenodge
Dodgenodge started raiding in late November, and has raided a few villages and stolen a few sets of diamond gear from players.

Dex_Og and ViewedMarquis
Also known as the Pillagers, these two started their banditry at the Red Coronation, when Dalatra became Empress of Yimmu Audal. Starting a fight that killed 22 players present, they now periodically roam around Rathnir and kill unsuspecting players. They do not always adhere to the bandit lifestyle, but have become a formidable force when banditing. They blew up the Last Bastion (which dex_og built, but was under YA control), and have fought the Goblin brothers
