The Crinfrid Reavers were a group of mercenaries from Crinfrid specialized in fighting dragons and draconids and active throughout the second half of the 13th century. Originally they were only three - Kennet, Gar and their leader Boholt and they joined many hunts, like the one Myrgtabrakke, a dragon who lived outside Barefield, organized by King Niedamir.[1] However, after Boholt lost his memory the remaining two beast hunters decided it would be wise to recruit. Around 1271, they took a first apprentice called Newboy[2] and a few years later they had entire bands of men like Jamor and Auwry, which they dispatched to countries as far as Toussaint.[3]
The Crinfrid Reavers wiped out all of the dracolizards and forktails in Redania. They also killed three red dragons and one black dragon.[1]
