Mercenary’s Guild

The Mercenary’s Guild is a double-edged sword in the eyes of the Augural Strand. To some, they are a necessary evil, a tool to be wielded in times of strife. To others, they are a symbol of unbridled greed, warriors who have forsaken honor for gold. Nonetheless, the Guild’s reputation for getting the job done has made them invaluable to many who seek their services.

Despite the skepticism surrounding them, the Guild has managed to forge strong alliances with merchant guilds, city-states, and even some noble houses, who see the value in having a reliable source of skilled fighters at their disposal. However, not all relationships are favorable. The Guild’s willingness to take any contract has put them at odds with various factions across the Augural Strand, leading to tense standoffs and bloody conflicts.

In a world where the scales of power are in constant flux, the Mercenary’s Guild remains a steadfast force, its members’ blades always sharp and ready, waiting for the next call to arms.
