The Fire Foxes

Outlaws north of the Galloway region. They have raided farms in this hills before, but this was for food and supplies.
[Still not really got a use for these guys. I've a feeling they can "save" some of the people on the farm at some point. Sort of bad guys that do a good thing. Take on an army patrol or something. Perhaps their ranks are swelled by runaway slaves and deserters?]
Chapter 8
Once the fire was to her satisfaction she straightened up, leaned the poker by the fireplace and dusted off her hands. She then headed for the door, but before leaving she turned and said, ‘keep your door locked tonight. Don’t worry too much, but there are stories going around that the Fire Foxes have crossed the Zone line again.’

She had been told that beyond the Zone line there was desert, perhaps the Sahara and that no one lived there except for heretics and the Fire Foxes. They were collections of Leftover people, people who had refused to stop worship the wrong God or Gods, and all manner of other crazies, people driven mad by the upheaval of the reditus or who had looked at Wormwood for too long.
Chapter 11
They were speculating about the Fire Foxes, the tribe of lunatics that was said to live in the desert beyond the hills. This had been one of the topics they had discussed for much of the day. Melissa had heard rumours though that it was not the Foxes this time, but Evermarch troops returning from their campaign in the north.

The men she had seen in the desert could have been anyone, but there had been no word of Fire Foxes since then and a lot of chatter about the army.
