A bonded mercenary can go to the guildhall or any of its
smaller halls and receive three days of meals and three nights
in a bed for free. The mercenary has to show their badge and
sign a ledger.
Being a bonded guild member entitles a mercenary to
arbitration hearings before the three captains at the main
guildhall.
Entrance Fee
To join the mercenary guild, a character must pay 25 gp. In
return, they receive a guild badge.
Guild Dues
Individuals pay yearly dues of 30 gp and companies pay 1000
gp.
Mercenary Guild
Purpose
Before the Guild was formed, there were still mercenary
companies. What didn’t exist were ways to protect
mercenaries from unscrupulous rulers, employers or other
mercenaries without a shred of honor. After the Blue Shields
Mercenary Company were attacked by the Black Gauntlets
and the Bloody Swords companies.
While returning to their headquarters outside of Carnd,
the Blue Shields Company was ambushed by the Black
Gauntlets and the Bloody Swords. Half of the mercenaries
in the Blue Shields were killed and the rest taken hostage.
Adding insult to injury, the dead were all beheaded and the
heads piled next to the road with the company banner laid over
the pile. Their families and friends ransomed the surviving
members of the Blue Shields. The ambush of the company
was totally uncalled since the Blue Shields are builders and
engineers, not a fighting company. When word spread about
the Blue Shields, many companies began discussing what
they could do. Some wanted to go kill all the members of the
Black Gauntlets and the Bloody Swords, others wanted to
take them hostage for a fat ransom.
In the end, three of the longest-serving mercenary captains
– Draia Nedant, Randall Benenly, and Nolan Todsenal
– decided that a Mercenary Guild should be formed. The
guild would serve two purposes – protecting its members
and protecting those that hire its members. (Some mercenary
companies would switch sides when offered more gold than
what they were already paid).
After the formation of the Mercenary Guild, a decision
was reached concerning the Black Gauntlets and the Bloody
Swords. Any mercenary company that belongs to the Guild
has permission to seek out and destroy these two companies
and their members. More than likely, several companies will
have to work together to deal with the fortified keeps of the
Gauntlets and Swords.
Guild Rules
• Do not discuss company contracts with non-company
members
• Avoid killing innocent bystanders whenever
possible
• Do not discuss guild practices with non-guild
members
• Do not join non-bonded companies
• New recruits to a company will not go out to battle
until they complete six months of training
• Guild members will not participate in the slave
trade
• No pillaging in the land of your employer
• Pillage only in enemy territory with your employer’s
permission
• Treat prisoners fairly, no torture
• No stealing supplies or destroying crops
• No harboring criminals or traitors
• Both parties involved follow contracts to the letter.
• Pillage enemy territory only with the permission of
your employer.
• Bonded companies or any of its members that
surrender are permitted to leave the battlefield and
go to a neutral point. The Guild will ransom them.
• Bonded companies will not switch sides in mid-
contract.
The Mercenary Guild will impose fines against those that cause
damages to a Bonded Company or Bonded Mercenary.
Location
The Mercenary Guild Hall is located a half day’s ride west of
Carnd. It is a walled complex with several buildings within
the walls. The guild has its own standing mercenary company
that gives them protection.
Membership
Individual mercenaries are required to pay dues each year
and receive a badge with the guild emblem on it. Mercenary
company leaders pay their own dues, as well as the yearly
bond for their company. These payments serve two purposes
– one, if a bonded company is taken hostage during a conflict,
the guild will pay the ransom; two, the guild sells items at
half price and provides a place for displaced mercenaries.
