Many people believe things can be easily divided or categorized into two main domains: good and evil. But life is way more complicated than that.

The Merry Women

In the peaceful town of Edwinstowe, there was a group called “The Merry Women”. These brave gals have the main objective to help the poor. However, their idea of justice is communal in nature.

It is nothing but crumbs for them, and these things often come with the status. But of course, Edwinstowe’s authorities are not happy. They have received countless complaints and reports about the women brigands. To make matters worse, the Merry Women’s actions have caused enmity between the social classes.

On the other hand, the rich who lost their patience hired mercenaries to recover their goods from the brigands.
