In a vain attempt to convince the Ruuk Burun to side with them in their struggle against the alliance between the Aun Tumeroks, Tukal Lugians, and the Isparians, the Renegade Lugians and Tumeroks made numerous peace offerings to the Ruuk leadership.  Fortunately, many of these shipments were intercepted by adventurers before they could reach their intended users.  Turn the tables on the Renegades and use their goodies against them!

Instead of being one big quest, the Renegade Rewards are broken up into several sub-quests, so that's how they will be presented below.

Preparation for all Quests.  Most of these quests are short but pretty dangerous for lower level characters.  You will fight Renegade Lugians, Tumeroks, and Ruuk Burun.  Some of the Lugians use hollow weapons, so be prepared.

Quest 1:  Chorizite-Veined Shield.  Begin your quest by heading to A Renegade Stronghold, located at 34.4S 64.8E, west of Shoushi.  The dungeon is basically a copy of Lugian Citadel, but with Gotroks up to Tiatas and Tumeroks up to Champions.  From the drop, take a left at the first intersection and hug the left wall the rest of the way.  The final room has a Strong Iron Key on a table - grab it and Portal Recall.  Take the surface portal and run to 31.3S 58.9E.  You will find a chest there, protected by some Renegades.  Kill them and then use your key on the chest.  When you open it, you will take a Flame Bolt VI, so be prepared.  Inside the chest is a chunk of Chorizite (makes 20 potions), the Chorizite-Veined Shield, and a note.

Quest 2:  Coarse Hide Shirt.  This second quest also involves visiting A Renegade Stronghold, but this one is located at 71.4N 28.6W near Stonehold.  The dungeon is identical to the first Renegade Stronghold and Lugian Citadel, but this time, you will have to find both the key and the chest inside the dungeon.  From the drop, go straight and then hug the right wall.  The final room is guarded by several Renegades and Ollar, Renegade Captain.  Kill him and check his corpse for the key.  Now Portal Recall and hug the left wall.  The final room on this side has a chest.  Use your key and loot the Coarse Hide Shirt, 100 Distilled Mana Potions (restore 120 mana), and another note.

Quest 3:  Renegade Bone Charm.  This is the last of the Renegade Stronghold quests, this time located at 17S 5.9E.  The fastest way there is probably to take the Sand Shallows settlement portal out of Qalabar.  Head straight from the drop and then hug the right wall.  The third large room has a key on the table - grab it and portal out.  The chest is located at 34.7S, 12.1E, which is SSW of Al Arqas.  Unlock the chest and grab the Renegade Bone Charm, the Tumerok Salted Meats (restore 120 health), and the note inside.

Quest 4:  Gemstone Lockpick.  This quest takes place just east of Yanshi in A Burun Cavern, located at 12S 50E.  Once inside the dungeon, hug the left wall - it's not the fastest way, but the dungeon is difficult to navigate otherwise.  After passing down a few ramps, you'll end up in an open room filled with Burun.  Kill them if you want, but pick up the key on the ground in the middle.  Once you have it, Portal Recall to the top.  This time, hug the right wall.  Pass through an open room and find the passageway leading down in the middle of the room.  At the very end is another open room with a chest guarded by a good number of Burun.  Unlock the chest and grab the Gemstone Lockpick and the Renegade Lugian Ring.  The Lockpick has 100 uses and is rumored to have a hidden bonus.

Quest 5:  Renegade Heal Kits.  This is the only section that requires lockpick.  Begin your quest by running to Small Complex at 39.1S 53.4W in the East Dires Swamp.  The Kivik Lir portal is probably your best bet to get there.  Once you reach the dungeon, run north and hug the left wall.  The fourth and final room you reach is protected by several Renegades and Captain Waliknua.  Kill the Captain and loot a key from his corpse.  Portal Recall to the top and take the exit portal.  Run to Burun Cathedral, located at 42.3S 52.6W.  Once you arrive, run north as far as you can go before you reach a locked door.  Kill anything that followed you and anything on the far side.  Pick the door when everything is dead and turn left at the first intersection you reach.  Continue to the west until you reach a ramp leading down.  Now hug the right wall the rest of the way.  Eventually you will reach an open room with a ramp in the middle of the room.  Follow it down and you will reach the chest room.  The spawn in this room is insanely fast, so I would suggest only killing the Soothsayers as they are most likely to do appreciable damage to you.  Once they are down, unlock the chest and start looting.  You will receive 10 Renegade Heal Kits, a Renegade Stone Clasp, and another note.

Quest 6:  Tethana Raiders.  Head to Fort Tethana and buff up.  To the west of town is a Renegade Battle Encampment.  Most of the Renegades are of the standard variety, but four of them are VoD-style bosses.  The Lugian General Garsh carries the Quadruple-Bladed Axe and the Tumerok bosses carry the Renegade Bow, Crossbow, and Hunting Brace.

Quest 7:  Horned Lugian Helm and Ornate Tumerok Breastplate.  The final and hardest quest in this series requires you to defeat the cream of the Renegade and Burun forces.  Head to the final Renegade Stronghold at 2.4S 63.7E near Rithwic and Lytelthorpe.  The dungeon is fairly simple to navigate.  All the paths lead to the same place - just keep going west.  The final room is protected by the highest level Ruuk Burun, Tumeroks, and Lugians, as well as War Chief Amanua and General Fostok.  These two bosses drop the Ornate Tumerok Breastplate and Horned Lugian Helm respectively.  The final room is very dangerous, so you may want to bring a good sized group of high levels.  I would recommend you be level 80 to try this quest and 126+ to try to solo it.  Being a mage would help too.
