Sand Scorpions

"Those brutes were the Sand Scorpions. A group of murderers that I am overjoyed to no longer be part of."

- Zov

The Sand Scorpions are a bandit group operating in the Shassar Sea.

Lore
"Please, I don't want to die. We just do as Vataos asks. He'll kill us otherwise!" "Oh believe me, I know how Vataos works. I saw it firsthand."

- Tomi and Tabri discussing the Sand Scorpions' modus operandi

The Sand Scorpions are led by Vataos. Those who refuse to follow his orders are executed. The Scorpions seek to continue the legacy of the Fahiran Empire.

A number of their members split off from the Scorpions to form the Amber Blades, starting a long-lasting feud, as the two parties vyed for control of Shassar, fighting over what few resources remained in the dunes.

In 1270, a hero/group of heroes sought the Scepter of Fahir. Vataos sent the Sand Scorpions to find the hero(es) and take the scepter pieces from them. Led by Vataos himself, the Scorpions attacked Sereth Outpost, but were repelled by the Amber Blades. Later, a group of Scorpions confronted Peth outside the outpost, demanding to know the location of the scepter. However, they were killed by the hero(es) who had allied themselves with the Blades.

Later Activities
The Sand Scorpions stole a shipment of goods headed from Westmarch to Caldeum. The bandits hid in the Ruins of Greater Fahira. Westmarch offered bounties to adventurers to track the bandits down and retrieve the stolen items.

A group of Sand Scorpions were able to break into the Library of Zoltun Kulle in search of treasure. Later, the Sand Scorpions set about pillaging the library's archives, while others lay in wait for hapless adventurers.

In-game
