Grabber Territory is a raider gang based in the state of Nevada.

Historical background

The Grabbers are a coalition of slaver groups from the New California Republic, having left when anti-slavery laws began being enforced. Since then, any traveler through their territory either has to pay a fine, or risk being enslaved by the gang.[1] The gang also involves themselves in kidnapping, holding traders and travellers hostage unless a fee or toll can be paid. Should the ransom not be paid, the hostages are either enslaved or pressed into the gang until their fees are paid off.[2]

  2. whats the lore behind the grabbers?
    Loonybinjin: "Fairly straight forward raider gang.

    They big gimmick is that they are mostly kidnappers rather than fighters and pillagers, you pay the toll or they'll steal people out of your caravans/communities and ransom them back to you. If you can't pay, eventually they'll sell them into slavery or just sort of press them into the gang, but they basically just work off extortion money. People pay them to leave their stuff alone, and they nominally protect the roadways north."
