Root-Rippers
While anti-elven sentiment is very rare, it is not unheard of. For men of the circle and specifically grovans, there is a group that readily accepts these views. And anyone who has them is welcomed to join. They don't appreciate the largest forest in Serferine being monopolized by one group. They see themselves as liberators, aiming to break open the green doors of the The Grove for all to enjoy the fruitful bounty that lies within.
Public Agenda
The rippers use the forest to their advantage, they cut down the trees and sell them when they can. They capture the animals to eat, train or sell. They set fire to elven homes and communities when they can sneak far enough into the forest without getting killed. They enjoy the money, but they really get a kick out of messing with the elves.

History
This group has existed for a long time, and could be one of the first bandit groups that was founded in the circle. Shortly after men arrived into Serferine, they tried to move into the forest. They thought any space that wasn't already occupied was fine, but the elves laid claim to every inch, and rejected them from living in the grove. Some didn't like the fact they were driven away, and they moved just out of the bounds of the forest. But they started building more settlements inside of it anyway, taking whatever wood they wanted. They were driven from there homes again after that. They put traps in the forest to catch animals for food and found them outside their tents the next morning. That was the last straw for them, they started targeting the elves specifically. Setting traps for them, raiding the forests, overhunting and stealing vital plants. This was the very beginning of the group that would disband and reform over and over. Becoming more violent and anti-elven with each iteration, the group that would eventually take the name of the Root-Rippers.
