Many noble houses took root in such a city, upstarts and old blood alike who sought to profit off of such unlimited freedom. Those who have risen to prominence were appointed to the position of Senator, a member of the ruling class of Mezzar and capable of deciding how the city goes about its affairs. Sadly, that means that corruption runs wild in the Free City for there are none who would turn down honest coin and fewer even who would wish to be on the bad side of those with the coin to pay for them to simply… disappear. The Journeymen who have came to Mezzar can often leave as rich men, a few hundred coins in their pouch from the proper hand looking for the less legal kind of help. However, the city still flowed on like a river, unaffected by the ripples which the Journeymen could make by ending someone’s life or taking part in extortion. Even now on the very week that five new Journeymen arrived in the city, the city seems practically filled to the brim with life, even more so than usual as the preparations for a festival has begun. But the festival nor a contract was why any of them had been ordered to go to the city of Mezzar. No, they were here to meet their new captain, the woman who would issue their contracts and occasionally battle with them. Their new captain was known to be a hardass, allowing none to stray from the path of the Order nor cause problems for the citizens of whatever town they visit for a contract. However, these five were misfits, known for causing trouble with those who they were suppose to serve, the villagers, or simply their comrades. This festival period may just be a time to test their abilities, both in combat and outside of it, as forces stir and begin to pull the strings on their machinations.[/hider] [hr][hr]
