Chapter 2 Page 16: The Mercenaries Guild, Thalia
Thalia is the castle that the Mercenaries Guild Headquarters currently inhabits. The castle is east of Syaso and about a half day’s travel for a normal traveling party. Though the guild members are anything but normal.
It’s a ragtag bunch of warriors who didn’t quite fit in to the “perfect city” created by Human nobles. Apart from criminals and rough types, many rogue clansmen and other bestial races call Thalia home. The mercenaries guild doesn’t turn away good help, and is immune to the laws and regulations enforced by Syaso.
The raw power contained in the Mercenaries guild is probably stronger than that of the Syasan Military, but gathering them together to fight for one cause would be next to impossible. The guild was founded by the 12 heroes who stopped the Kodiet Campaign of carnage 14 years ago as a check and balance to Syaso. If anybody could band this group together, it would be them.
Are the original 12 dead or are they still around? What do they think about everything going on if they are still alive?
They are still around, but they don’t show up every often. There hasn’t been any “threats” that call for their power since the old war eras. It’s possible we might see them again if a similar threat arises.
