Broken Mountain Rowan

Adversaries Designed by Beni Megido

Adversary overview

A hardened bandit who has survived ambushes, harsh winters, and bloody disputes along the mountain roads.

The Broken Mountain Rowan is not just “another bruiser with an axe” but more like “the veteran outlaw everyone in the gang hides behind when things go bad.” It is part of their role; to take the hit so somebody else doesn’t have to.
