You're standing in the heart of the Brisban Wildlands, and just your luck, you're in the middle of all things criminal. In the west, you've got Vandal's Claim, which is thick with bandits. Just don't stray too far, and you should be okay. In the east, the Inquest have a fortified lab, and we've heard rumblings about them trying to ally with the bandits. Gods help us if that comes to pass.
