The Doom Raiders

The Doom Raiders were a company of adventurers active along the Sword Coast between 1491 and 1497DR, so named for their repeated success in conquering the Dooms, or lairs, of several noted liches. It is a matter of some speculation whether or not this plundering took place in the lairs of liches slain by other adventurers, but the Raiders maintain that they personally slew several.

Formation
The Raiders originated as a chance alliance between two members, when Tashlyn Yafeera stepped in to save Davil Starsong from a group of angry taverngoers after an unsuccessful performance. The two began a lucrative partnership, with Yafeera acting as security (and occasionally percussion) for Starsong's tours of Faerûn. The pair would later bring on Istrid Horn and Ziraj as management and additional security, respectively. They quickly realized that they could work well as an adventuring company, and they signed on Skeemo Weirdbottle to round out their numbers before beginning their career in earnest.

Dissolution
Following several years of highly successful adventuring, in which they had done multiple jobs for the Zhentarim, the group made the decision to retire to Waterdeep and kickstart a chapter of the increasingly legitimate Black Network with the spoils of their dungeon delves. As such, the Raiders are still operating collectively as components of a larger organisation.
