History
of the
Red Ravens
|
One
of the few long-standing mercenary companies that operate in Corymyr,
the Red Ravens have a strength on paper of 110 swords, but can easily
triple that number with new hires if they get a sufficiently large contract.
They have been kept on retainer by the government of Cormyr with the stated
purpose of cleaning out the Stonelands to the north. They have been moderately
successful in this goal, but the Stonelands are still far from being a
safe territory.
The Red Ravens are commanded by Rayanna the Rose, a veteran of the Horde
crusade. They are noted for their honesty and trustworthiness, as they
don not wish to jeopardize their royal charter. Most of their troops are
armed with studded leather and carry long swords. They charge 200 gold
pieces per week for the services of their 110-being unit. Their symbol
is a red raven amulet.
