Mercenary Guilds
Mercenary groups abound in Adria, just as they did in the middle ages. Paid fighters have always been used to supplement armies at war. If you are interested in purely mercenary, paid fighters, consider contacting these guilds. But be prepared to pay their price, which could range from a bottle of homemade cordial, to a deed for Adrian lands (not valid in the real world, of course)! Many of these guilds are not formal, but rather informal groups.Imperial Guilds and Groups

Bentwood Raiders
Know this, ye. We are the Bentwood Raiders. Ours is a life of other people's mischief, politics, and revenge! We work for the highest bidder. We serve King and pauper alike, if they can pay us a sufficient wage. Our services include much more than just warfare and battle, though that is our favorite type of work. Our band of mercs maintain skills in arts, politics (ministries) as well as all forms of combat. Few are we that call ourselves Bentwood Raiders, but many are those who have secretly joined our ranks. So, beware all ye who think yourselves safe in your numbers, because those who live among you may very well be our brothers! [taken from the Wharf]
Terre Neuve Black Company
Mercenary life was harsh and often terminal for the average soldier. The strange fact is that many men found it attractive. This was because their life as a peasant was even more harsh! Adventure in foreign lands, loot and a regular meal were more attactive than working a field. Leaders of mercenary companies were often from the noble houses second and third sons who did not stand to inherit and so choose a life of adventure rather than being a third wheel in their home land. So how does the Black Company fit into all this? Simple. We are people who want to learn the way of the sword and the axe. We are modern men and women who seek the adventure of old, clash of sword, bash of shield and the thrill of the fight. We are brothers of the old mind, born out of place and time.
