Ben’s Rebels is a small militia of displaced Cavianans and Zamorian sympathizers working to stop Ivasaar Ulawenys’s conquest of Caviana: the village razings, the forced labor, the soul collection operations. The group is too small for direct confrontation with Ivasaar’s forces, so they have operated primarily by pointing capable allies at targets and letting them do the work.
Cheating Ben leads the group. He’s a small-time former card cheat who found himself in the middle of something much larger than he was prepared for and has been fighting for Caviana’s displaced people with whatever he could manage. His two key lieutenants are Steve and Azeah Ilolsen.
Area of Operation
Base camp in the southern Zamoria Rainforest. Firebell serves as a staging area: the city sits on the Cavianan coast, making it the natural gateway for operations aimed at Caviana.
Party History
The party has worked with Ben directly since early in the campaign. They have fought alongside his network, shared intelligence, and helped defend Cavianan villagers. Seraphine Voss confirmed that Ben has no Pale Flame involvement and is actively working against the conquest, while noting ambiguity about what is guiding him.
What They Stand For
Justice for Caviana’s displaced people. Stop the soul harvest. Ben is morally clear even when he is operationally outmatched, a crook who found a cause and has been trying to fight for it ever since.
