Scarlet Band

A group of mercenary cavalry built around a core of former Alyite sisters who were kicked out of the Order for malfeasance. They are led by a southerner, former Alyite Captain Sherya Chol. She leads approximately thirty troopers, about half of whom are former Alyites, the rest are ex-Zalarites, former bandits or defectors from other mercenary bands. The troop is well-armed and armored. They flaunt Alyite Scarlet cloaks, but otherwise dress as they please. The Band stays clear of the Alyite Order, which detests them, and takes contracts with merchants needing protection and minor nobles needing to supplement their military forces.
