Black-skull Company: Approximate size: 150 Founded: 471 AI Headquarters: The Red Wastes Description: Formed during the large period of unrest in New Isilioth with the Royal family being abdicated and missing, the Black-skull Company are ruthless yet efficient mercenaries. Their reputation precedes them so much, that only few can now afford their services. The process for joining the Company involves testing in swordsmanship, archery, strength and endurance, survival skills, and stealth ability. Many fail though, and either are maimed or killed. The final initiation for a member is to venture into the nearest Nether Fortress with only an iron sword and no armour, and return with a Wither Skull. The skull is made into their standard helmet, reinforced with metals for strength, making for a terrifying foe on the battlefield. Some of their most recent exploits include taking the bandit fortress of Greymont without a single death on their side, and the annihilation of the rebel town Hanvale.
