Liberty rogues, Artifacts, Cardi and Outcasts and Corsairs.

[Blodo]

Here is my take on it: Yes, they should deal in artifacts as well as cardamine. Yes, the NPC faction should be neutral to Corsairs and Outcasts. No, Rogue diplomacy would never be uniform across the entire faction.

The way I see it, there are many gangs within the Rogues. Some would probably be more concerned smuggling in artifacts, while others would sit on the cardi trade in Texas/California. They aren't an organised, unified body, and to just declare that every rogue out there is a cardamine addict and allied to the outcasts is about as sensible as saying that "Bundschuh are pirates because they are unlawful". It just doesn't work that way... the Rogues are way too big and fragmented for it to work that way.
