War Party

Formed in 1650, the War Party was the first recognized adventuring party in history, ushering in the Age of Heroes. In response to growing domestic and otherworldly threats, a motley crew of former soldiers, miners, and scholars sold their unique, varying talents for gold. The only thing that separated this group from common mercenaries was an unspoken code. The War Party sold themselves as swords for hire, but with a code that so long as they were paid, they would complete any task, great or small, until they faced a task so great that it killed them. They swore an oath to gold and glory and said that as long as a warrior kept either of the two in their sights, if one craved danger and adventure, they were no common sellsword. This lifestyle caught on as a dangerous, but lucrative path for those that could stifle it. Other groups wishing to take this boundless, dangerous oath called themselves War Bands. Bands of warriors who roamed the lands solving problems of all shapes and sizes, so long as the pay or story was worth it.

The War Party's members included:

• Thalnus Fireback
• Brannyl Straelbrekem
• Nisryn Mothingham
