The Free Companies

The Free Companies of the Isles of Alvost are mercenary armies for hire which have long been active in the conflicts of The Tripartite Kingdoms and surrounding regions. The Free Companies have different prices, separate leadership, etc., which often means that they end up on the opposite sides of various conflicts. However, they will not engage in direct battle against another Free Company of the Isles of Alvost.

Founding
The Free Companies of the Isles of Alvost was founded in the midst of The Pig War, six years in. The Free Companies were regiments created to defend their islands against Gildebraggian raiders. Eventually, in an attempt to weaken their enemies in The Empire of Keelor and The Principality of Gildebrag, they began contracting these mercenary groups to rebel groups within their territories, such as the troll clans of the Giantpikes or the Allied Clans of the Southern Thundersummits.
