Personal history
Tom has been the chief of his little band for the last couple of years. They all worked at a local sawmill but decided it would be far more profitable to collect tolls on one of the roads. At first they tried the main roads, but were routinely run off by either the local nobility or a larger group of bandits. At first their little venture into banditry was not very successful but they soon struck gold.
They figured out the fastest way by land from Oxpond to Brittlefel is the road up along the River Ox, which is not maintained or patrolled as well as the main coastal road. At one point it leads through a small forest, many miles from any village. The forest was ignored by the locals and it remained an untouched piece of wilderness without a proper name until Tom and his men started calling it their home.
The forest is now known by all the locals as Tom's Wood, as anyone trying to travel through it may be accosted by Tom's merry band demanding a toll for safe passage. Tom and his men are not the brightest, but they make up for it with tenacity and strong arms, so they haven't been run out of Tom's Wood yet.
