They live by rapine and plunder. The men of Treve are said to be among the proudest and most ruthless on Gor. They are most fond of danger and free women, whom they bind and steal from civilized cities to carry to their mountain fair as slave girls. It is said the city can be reached only on tarnback.
---Raiders of Gor, p 271

Now raiding is not just about stealing a Free Woman... so lets start to put some context and theme behind why we raid.

At the present time we IC are preparing for war and major aggression against us, we should be RPing this theme on the following basis.

Preparation of food and weapons in our stores
- stealing bosk from the kattai
- blackwine from Thentis
- hunting the verr in the mountains
- taking of slaves to sell in the markets of other cities

Often during the day, and sometimes for days at a time, most of the tarnsmen of Rask of Treve would be aflight. The camp then would seem very quiet. They were applying themselves to the work of the tarnsmen of Treve, attack, plunder and enslavement. ---Captive of Gor, pp 290-291

Those men, said Ena, are Raf and Pron, huntsmen of Treve, though they range widely in their huntings, even to the northern forests.

Each year in the fall legions of tarnsmen from Treve were said to emerge from the Voltai like locusts and fall on the fields of one city or another, different cities in different years, harvesting what they needed and burning the rest in order that a long, relatiatory winter campaign could not be launched against them.
