[@Kreegs] The thing is that the Ratpublic doesn't usually go out of its way to make enemies since you can't trade with dead people. You're more than welcomed to act as guards in a major trade post just be aware that I don't even know where exactly Origlio itself is located much less its trade posts yet. Also if you're going to get involved in Origlian politics at any point in time during your climb to power, you are going to need more than just soldiers to get places. And also preferably a shit load of money since money rules all in Origlio, without it you're just another large group of Condottieri.
