Dwarves live mostly under the mountain, I think. And even if they share their territory, it doesn't mean they should be enemies, as they could deal goods (food for iron, for exmaple) and end up in some kind of alliance

As Dave said, bandits and outlaws are not serious fighters. If the dwarves wanted to get rid of the barbarians, they wouldn't ally with outlaws (who are probably traitors after all); they would try to ally with some real fighters.

Robin Hood was outlaw and therefore Robin Hood must be traitor? Robin Hood was also bandit.

King John (was that his name?) thought otherwise nevertheless.

Of course. I was only showing up that two races being neighbours doesn't mean they want to kill each other. As I have already told, whatever decision is made, even leaving the Knalgan Alliance as it is, it's ok for me.

Exactly... Who is bandit/outlaw is in the eye of the beholder.

Loyalists can see them as bandits/outlaws while Dwarves see them as... well... humans.

Apparently the game creators see them as 'bandits/outlaws', since that's what we call them :)

Something tells me that Miyo really doesn't want to split the bandits from dwarves...?
