[quote=@aviendha] [@Tangletail] Mercenaries are literally swords for hire, their only loyalty is to money. Not even to the highest bidder, but to the guarantee of a payout. As for assassins, they're not really relevant in wartimes against a force of chaos not focused on any one power, and their trustworthiness is entirely dependent upon their payment method. [/quote] I understand. :P But this is just something I am exploring mentally before I make a decision. AKA, flipping through the books for a story route to go by. After the wars, Mercs had a huge impact to the story. So I'm contemplating if I want to take the risk to see where it goes.
