These are the Great Mercenary Companies that fight in the many wars of the Old World, hiring out to those rulers who can afford to pay their wages and supply them with equipment and sustenance. They fight for differing reasons, some for fame and glory, some because they have no homes to return to, some are seeking fortune, while others just seek adventure. They all have in common that they follow a charismatic leader who has organised them and now leads them in their battles. You may find one of these great companies one battle season in the Tilean City-States, and the next fighting in the wars of the Empire. They contain all types of troops, from Peasant Spearmen to landless Knights, Barbarians from the far north, and the feirce horsemen from the sands of Araby.
