The Black Company

The Black Company was the last of the twelve Free Companies of Khatovar and a band of highly trained mercenaries. Their contracts and commissions took them all over the known world, and even beyond into new worlds. A brotherhood of soldiers which was highly respected and feared by allies and foes alike, the Black Company shaped the history of both the northern and southern continents. Its exploits were recorded in the Books of the North, the Books of the South, and the Books of Glittering Stone by the Annalists Croaker, Lady, Murgen, and Sleepy.
