Artusian Hills

From DQWiki

Outlaws inhabit these rugged hills through which travellers must pass between the Brastor Holding and Carzala unless they go by river. The outlaws survive by raiding trade caravans moving through the hills and sometimes even by raiding into the Sweet Riding for horses and beeves.

It is rare to encounter any humans in the hills who are not Merchants, Soldiers, or Brigands.
