Soothsires

“ | When journeying in from the borderlands, one particular peril would spring to mind: the Samsooth Mountains, whose gashing peaks rose up and divided the peninsula. Since before anyone could remember, the mountains had belonged to bandits, blights on the land whose acts of plunder, kidnapping, and arson knew no bounds. Out of fear, their victims gave these peaks another name: the Ghoul's Teeth; while the bandits who ruled atop the Teeth's craggy crowns took a name as well: the Samsooth Sires, or Soothsires... | ” | — Chapter 3 intro of Shadow Dragon |

The Soothsires (Japanese: サムシアン Samsians), short for the Samsooth Sires,[2] are a brigand clan preying on the unfortunate travelers who have to make their ways through the Samsooth Mountains.
History
During the War of Shadows, Marquess Bent of Samsooth and Marquess Lang of Adria betrayed Archanea and sided with the Dolhr Empire. Following their treason, Bent formed a group of bandits operating in the Samsooth Mountains range. The brigands also managed to hire The Scarlet Sword, Navarre, into their ranks. As Marth's army makes his way into the Samsooth Mountains, a cleric named Lena was escaping from the bandits in order to tend to the sick. The Soothsires discover and attempt to kill her, but one of their thieves, Julian, falls in love with her, betrays his comrades, and helps her escape. When the two discover that Marth is in the area, they rejoin his forces and managed to defeat them. It is unknown as to what happened to Marquess Bent prior to the event of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light/Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon as Hyman take the role of leader when Marth's forces confront the brigands.
