Briarboar
A famous company of mercenaries that primarily work out of western Czerelan. Soldiers of fortune fill their ranks from many walks of life to earn gold and glory. Their numbers are made of young adventuring sorts who seek experience, as well as seasoned veterans of military campaigns and distant expeditions. They are recognized by their insignia, the boar's head surrounded by thorny briars in a circle. The members of the guild are often hired for their skills and renown, not their personality. The individuals who don the insignia of the boar are often brutish and brusque. People skilled in violence excell among the ranks of Briarboar.
Structure
The head and founder of the organization is Garrett Frost, also known as The Briarboar. He is a fearsome individual and a skilled warrior. He holds the rank of First and acts as the main leader of Briarboar.
Culture
The members of Briarboar are an businesslike bunch. Being part of a mercenary guild, you need a certain skill with violence and a desire for gold and glory to bring you into this walk of life. With this in mind, most of the people in their ranks are veteran soldiers, amateur warriors, and adventurers. They are rigorously trained to enhance their skills and ensure they are up to the standards of the guild.
In business, they put forward an intimidating presence. Often brutish, brusque, and professional, they do their job well for the right price. Members of Briarboar are often taught a sense of professionalism on the job. However, the guild is still one for mercenaries. They are diverse in language and faith, creed and clan. United by the wish for gold, glory, and travel. They are rowdy in the taverns across Czerelan and can be found squashing monsters and raiders on the outskirts of towns. They are varied, but they are brutal and violent.
Public Agenda
Briarboar's motto is simple and short. Tusk and Thorn. If you need tusks to charge into your enemies, Briarboar will provide such a service. If you require thorns to protect yourself, providing a wall around you and what matters most, they will provide that as well. Their public agenda is to find battles and get paid doing it. They promise vast wealth and mounds of renown for those among their numbers, providing work all across the continent.
Their goals are to accumulate vast amounts of wealth by doing work for wealthy and influential clients. Where they cannot gain gold, they will try to gain power. This power can be political power by forging allaicnes and contracts with important figures, or physical power in the form of more soldiers, weapons, or magic.
Assets
Their guild is famous and they have the numbers of a small army. Their forces number over 4,000 and they hold six prominent keeps along the eastern coast of Czerelan, with their main base of operations being Glasscairn Keep outside of Ardissa. They also have a number of smaller equipment posts and muster yards around the continent in small cities and faraway regions.
They have a small fleet of six ships and a sizeable fortune from lucrative contracts. Their current wealth is more than 70,000 Vereti Aurens.
