Company of the Storm

The Company of the Storm is one of the traditional mercenary companies of Itanea. They were established in 573 AH by Bram ‘the Storm’, a human said to have killed three storm giants by himself. The company have thus more than 2000 years of experience, and consists of a multitude of divisions scattered across the continent. When they engage in major conflicts, the divisions join up to form a big army. Because of their sheer size, they represent many races, however most of the members are human.

Although mercenaries, the company mainly accepts contracts from employers with a just and true cause. They value morale above all else, and are known to punish members who doesn’t obey the internal rules of the company.

In charge of the company is General Greward Gare, a position he has held for nearly 10 years. He is originally from Erania, but is now based in the company’s headquarters near the Broken Shore. He is a stout warrior around the age of 50, who joined the company as a squire to the legendary General Adar Grecov almost 40 years ago.

The most famous colonel of the company is Cligan Hornvale, who runs the division based on the eastern coast of Itanea. It is said that he wields the sharpest swords on the continent, and is also an experienced user of magic. He is known to be especially picky about recruits, and many of the division’s members are from the mountain clans in the Glowing Mountains.
