Free Mountaineers

The Free Mountaineers, also known as the Mountaineers or the Free Mountain Army (FBA), is a loose collection of paramilitary organisations that seeks to end outsider occupation of the Elder Mountains and the establishment of a united Elder Mountain nation or territory.

The Free Mountaineers, as of 884 ARM, is fairly disorganized, and split into two broad camps. The Exclusivists are generally considered the old guard, that see the liberation of the Elder Mountains as only involving Foxes and Badgers. The Inclusivists are generally younger and newer members that believe that all peoples of the Elder Mountains must unite to defeat the occupiers. However, it should be noted that the lines between these two camps are not always black and white, and attitudes vary amongst individual members of these groups.
