Rural Criminals in the Majestic Wilderlands

VILLAGE TOUGHS
While the population of a village is too small to sustain a criminal underworld, some villages will have the misfortune of having a faction of toughs. And a rare few will even be controlled by the toughs although this usually requires the indifference or cooperation of the liege lord.
