Tyra Blood-Fire didn’t want just any crew.
Bandits never built Great houses. They have no structure, organization, nor legacy. They had few tactics in the field and little design for the future. Worst of all they had no loyalty beyond filling their own pockets. A bandit clan was a pack of stray dogs fighting for scraps, willing to bite the hand if it dared to feed them.
Growing up in Balmora, Tyra knew that the Great Houses of her world were built on blood. Yet as an orphan child and a Human amongst Dark Elves, her concept of family was one forged from experience. It wasn't the bandits and cutthroats, but the loners and outcasts she identified with most. So when she picked out the crew that would become the Crimson Dirks, she sought out the qualities that best defined herself.
What she wanted were survivors.
