The Hermits were a loose affiliation of neighbors and trading partners looking to escape the chaos surrounding Lakeview Village during Dragonhollow's First Era.

The Hermits settled independently in the western reaches beyond the central Lakelands.
Studmuffin laid the groundwork for his Red Light District a kilometer west of Lakeview Village, wishing to protect himself from nosy neighbors and roving bandits. Tox became wary of the village after the events of Champ's Crusade, moving from his cabin in the Slums to distant Black Rose. Kast and Shandar disliked some of the First Era's rowdiest citizens and sought to put distance between themselves and Lakeview. Seeking safety from the bloodlust of DragonLegends, Deztro accidentally discovered Black Rose and built a bunker not far away.
Despite their tongue-in-cheek name, the Hermits were not antisocial or completely withdrawn from the community. Stud served as the Archpriest of Eris and several of the others participated in organized events and were generally well-liked. Rather, they believed that there was unavoidable danger in living too close to population centers and sought to control their own security by placing distance between themselves and others.
Even so, there were certain material needs that brought the Hermits into trade relationships with each other. A hidden rail network connected some of their bases for convenience and safe underground travel.
Over time the Hermits inevitably drifted apart. After Stud's mysterious disappearance, Deztro moved close to Lakeview and constructed an ostentatious lava pyramid visible for kilometers in every direction. When Wasdoog partially demolished the wilderness cabin of Kast and Shandar, they began building a desert fortress on the shores of The Lake. Only Tox remained isolated in the west, becoming the epitome of hermitdom.
