Keepers of the Dance
Spoiler warning: Articles include story details through Episode 47 of the main campaign and all three episodes of Parental Advisory.
Crispin identifies the forest-camp faction as the Keepers of the Dance, followers expecting the Dragon King's return. He believes they will usher in a new era but lacks the full plan.
Members carry hand tattoos, linking their imagery with the Hand of the King. The story does not completely explain the relationship between the names. The camp includes two bandits previously spared on Aelmor, a separate tiefling spellcaster, Crispin, Dale and other fighters.
After the battle Crispin and the two returning bandits survive as prisoners. Todd kills the surrendered tiefling despite Malcius's objections. Orders recovered from him direct a meeting with gnolls in Greenbrier Woods and a giant, without naming the sender.
