Company-of-the-Golden-Boar -

![[vlandia 1.png]] # Company of the Golden Boar ## Mercanaries ### Tier 4 Mercenaries 'The Company' are Vlandians, mostly local levies who don't adjust well to peacetime and who have opted for a life of constant warfare. They are probably the least disciplined and most brigand-ish of [[Calradia-Conti.]]'s mercenaries, and a scourge to any bit of countryside where they are allowed to run loose. Still, like all mercenaries, they know that their future earnings depend on their reputation, so they honor their contracts and practice their skills, particularly with the crossbow, to ensure their employers receive their money's worth. This clan is from [[Kingdom-of-Vlandia]]. Ties to [[Vlandian]] house [[dey-Cortain]]. Former members are the [[Vlandian]] companions [[Bellowsbreath]], and his rival [[Alric]]. ([[Alric]] is not in-game but mentioned in lore) and [[the-Grizzled]]. # Game Files / Developer Diaries [[the-Grizzled]] > I served in the free companies ([[Company-of-the-Golden-Boar]]). When I was young and foolish I loved it - the danger, the comradery. But sometimes something you see turns your stomach. Something you saw a friend of yours do in a looted city. I will not speak of it. I need a new road to follow. [[Bellowsbreath]] > I fought with the [[Company-of-the-Golden-Boar]]. I was their armorer - kept their blades sharp, and patched the holes in the mail they took off corpses. Good lads, some of them, but others... Let's just say that it's the kind of outfit that attracts men born to trouble. > > I made an enemy there, '**[[Alric]]**' his name was. I don't even remember why he decided to hate me, but he did. Never could leave me alone. I had to sleep with one eye open. Devs: "For example, players who wish to emulate the adventurers who founded the [[Vlandian]] (and Norman) kingdoms can seek their fortunes with the Company of the Golden Boar, mercenaries who are based on medieval outfits like the Catalan or Free Companies." Ingalther, lord of the House of Cortain ([[dey-Cortain]]), seized his estate from a much older illegitimate half-brother. His ambition and sense of entitlement is extreme even by [[Vlandian]] standards. He has a dynastic claim to Arromanc lands, and has been pressing [[Derthert]] to disinherit [[Calatild]] and award her lands to him. [[Derthert]] has of course refused, as this would both start a war with the [[Arromanc]]'s and make [[Ingalther]] twice as powerful as the king, but [[Ingalther]] nonetheless greatly resents him for it. [[Ingalther]] keeps close ties with the Free Company, a notoriously rapacious band of mercenaries whose seaside castle lies near his domains.
