The Band of The Three (or simply The Three)[1] was a bandit clan from the region of Stormhaven, in the province of High Rock. They were active sometime in the Second Era, were garnered an infamous reputation across the land and acquired a vast amount of wealth.[1] Their leaders were the eponymous Three, who started at humble beginnings as thieves and scavengers, but throughout the years formed a notorious clan of murderers and highwaymen that gained the attention of High King Emeric and the Knights of the Flame in Alcaire.[2] In 2E 582, the bandit clan re-surfaced as spirits and renamed themselves The Fallen Three.[1]
HistoryEdit
The leaders of the Three, Arie, Gilbert, and Emory were raised in poverty and used theft to make it through a day at a time. Eventually, they got better at it and garnered wealth and followers. Ever since then, the Bane of The Three had wreaked havoc across Stormhaven, pillaging and murdering the people, building their piles of gold and treasure, even acquired a map to an old Akaviri grave.[3] This had caught the attention of High King Emeric of Wayrest and the Knights of the Flame in Alcaire. In time, The Three realized that evading the law would inevitably end in their capture so they looked to get pardoned by the High King, in exchange for half of their wealth.[2] However, this never came to be as the Knights of the Flame cornered them in Windridge Cave, at the base of the Wrothgarian Mountains. The group of knights, led by Sir Edain faced The Three to the bitter end, deep in the cave until they collapsed the cave. Sir Edain and The Three were kept in the caves, with a severe lack of food. Sir Edain had never faced The Three, only saw them eating their own followers to survive. Everyone stuck in the cave eventually died of starvation and the knights had completed their task, at least in life.[1]
In 2E 582, Windridge Cave had re-opened and The Three, now known as The Fallen Three return as vengeful spirits to steal the souls of the living. Sir Edain returned as a spirit, hoping to finish his mission in death when a traveler came onto the site. The Spirit asked them to slay the spirits and bind their souls into his ancient sword, to completely destroy them. The traveler delved into the cave, defeated each spirit, and bound them into the sword. Deep in the cavern, the traveler destroyed the sword in the cave's lava river. With The Three gone forever, Sir Edain's spirit was able to rest in peace.[4]
