Sasau Bandits

Lore & Background

The Sasau Bandits are not a loose confederation but rather a group of mercenaries and bandits secretly raised by someone to form an insurgency. Henry follows various leads to discover them operating near Sasau, where they are recruiting mercenaries with counterfeit coins. This group is linked to a larger plot involving Sir Ištván Tóth, who plans to use his mercenaries to conquer Bohemia. The bandits' stronghold is located in Vraník, not a simple camp near the monastery, and Henry must infiltrate their ranks to unravel the conspiracy.

Reader's Guide

To deal with the Sasau Bandits, Henry must follow the main questline after investigating the Neuhof stud farm raid. He will need to gather leads in the Sasau region, infiltrate the bandit ranks, and ultimately assault their stronghold at Vraník. The bandits are part of a larger conspiracy, so simply clearing a camp near the monastery will not resolve the threat. Players should prepare for combat against well-armed mercenaries and be ready to face Sir Ištván Tóth, who holds Henry's father's sword. The assault on Vraník requires the combined forces of Radzig Kobyla and Divish of Talmberg.
