Speaking of which, I forgot to ask Bravo about mercenary companies and stuff. Hope these aren't dumb questions.

1. How does merc contracts work here?

2. Any canon lores about mercenary culture? Like common superstition, mercs who are skilled enough to reach almost godlike reps on the battle field, common codes of honor followed by merc companies, etc.

3. How common is a merc, and how often does the realm use merc companies in anything, besides the Papacy's army?

4. Am I free to make up stuff as I go, within reason?
