A cootie that's purple, duh.
Honestly, I'm not real sure. It's something I picked up from my old roommate. |

You need another hint?
Hint: His army of rogues and ruffians serve as intelligence gatherers for the Rundeen and normally operate in groups of 3 or 4 which sees them sitting side-by-side with adventuring companies. |

LOL!!! Props to you, Na-Gang!!
I'm sharing Fillow's difficulties in solving this one, though. It has defeated even my feeble (to quote the Hamster) google-fu. A source clue might help....  |

Yeah - it started out sounding like the Kraken Society, and then he mentioned the Rundeen (which doesn't neccessarily leave out the Krakens), but I've checked just about every sourcebook I have on them and I couldn't find it.
Usually I only take a stab at these if I happen to know it off hand, but I have a good question I really wanted to use.  |

| I was looking through my sources and am honing in on cloak & dagger as the source. The Rundeen was my clue as well. Still can't find the answer though. |

I didn't see it in Cloak&Dagger, but somedays I'd miss my head were it not attached.
Perhaps a recent novel? That would explain Sage reading it recently....  |

I'll neither confirm nor deny that. This is Na-Gang's game, so it's probably best that I leave him to provide any further hints, if necessary.  |

Been all through Cloak & Dagger, and tried the Knights of the Shield as well - so far, nada.
I have a feeling its in an obscure place, but I've been wrong plenty of times before.
I even checked Skullport, because it has a brief bit on the krakens...
And at this point, I don't even remember my question. 
There's just something tickling my memory about the 'Scarlet Sorceror' that I can't quite put my finger on. <insert head-scratching smiley here> |

Hint #2 : His army of rogues and ruffians serve as intelligence gatherers for the Rundeen and normally operate in groups of 3 or 4 which sees them sitting side-by-side with adventuring companies.
Please Na-Gang, one more hint...
EDIT : I've updated the FR quizz Q&A thread : here
The two hints I've already given do pretty much tell you where to find the information, although in a somewhat cryptic way.
Hint: You will find him between The Fist of Rundeen and The Scimitars of Mullivan, but the reach of his long arms extends to anywhere within 200 miles of the Shining Sea. |

I finally found the question I wanted to ask, and now that I re-visit it, it doesn't appear nearly as esoterc as I had at first thought (I found a second source), but I'll ask it anyway, just because it is an interesting tidbit:
What do the Barbarians of the Ride refer to themselves as?
And thanks, Fillow. |

Well, people usually just respond here, but you were indeed correct...
Did you want to give someone else chance to answer it? 
I see if I want to play this I'm going to have to come up with much harder ones. |

Is the answer Steve?
Seriously though, I am thinking the Angardt ? From the FRCS?
if so, Fillow ask a question! If not...game on! |

That's not the answer I found.
So I do not think it's the good one, Red One. And I did not use the same source.
I go to have a look in it...
Mark, if you want to confirm the Red's answwer...
EDIT : I found the Angardt, but not in one of the FRCS.
In How the mighty are fallen, the Angardt are told to be a group of barbarians who dwell in the Southeast forest.
And in Netheril- Empires of Magic, they are told to be a barbarian tribe, living near Frostypaw.
These ones are not from the Ride so I do not think they are the barbarians Mark wrote about. |

You may very well be right, I got my bit from the human ethnicities section : "The nomadic barbarians of the Ride north of the Moonsea are believed to be descendants of the Angardt barbarians of northern Netheril" |

As part of my many mapping projects, I've taken to keeping track of ALL Torillian racial groups, and the Angardt is incorrect.
Sorry.
The Ride Barbarians are related to the Angardt through the Rengardt Barabrians, who are composed of the same racial stock as The Ride (but not the group I'm specifically looking for) mixed with Angardt after the fall of Netheril (the original Nethrease are related to the Ride Barbarians, along with folk of the Tunlands).
So there is a round-about connection, but the Angardt are more like their 'second cousins'.
So the question is still on the floor.  |

Warriors of the Ride are called the "Eraka" in their own tongue. Warriors and Priests of the Realm, p.27.
Markustay, that was a good question!
Since I'm fairly certain I'm correct--and have to step away to partake the chaos of the polls--I'll post my question.

Me, too. And I was disappointed to see it nerfed in (hint!hint!) later editions.  |
