The Forebears are one of the two political factions that Redguards typically align with. Their leader is Baron Volag, who led an uprising against the Crowns after the death of the High King, Thassad II.
The initial uprising in Sentinel was termed Volag's purge by those who viewed it as a massacre. Crown Prince A'tor fled the city with the Crowns who survived and recovered his strength in Stros M'Kai. He then fought back against the Forebears in a bloody civil war that lasted for roughly two years. Sentinel was taken back briefly, but the Forebears signed a treaty with the Empire for their aid in return for holding titles along the southeast border of Hammerfell.
The Empire crushed the Crowns but overlooked their end of the treaty and occupied Hammerfell. Volag disappeared the day Stros M'Kai was taken, and the Forebears were reduced to disgruntled Imperial subjects. Except for Krisandra, the few left in Stros M'Kai frequent the tavern and pick fights with anyone who looks like a Crown. After Cyrus started a rebellion in Stros M'Kai, Volag came out of hiding and retook Sentinel.
