Mercenaries
Crovan's RazorsCrovan's Razors is a mercenary crew led by a Captain Magnus Crovan. Originally a Vargarian raider from the north Eldarian mainland, Crovan has since turned against his countrymen in exchange for payment from the Riordan Clan for protection. The mercs he hires are from all over, but many in Falkirk are thankful that some of the less desirable people in town have been given good pay for something to do other than terrorize the town.
Silver Watch
A group dedicated to rooting out the occult, most especially werecreatures. In Falkirk, the Silver Watch only has a handful of members but they are respected and somewhat feared by the townsfolk.
Traders
East Gate Trader's Guild
The East Gate Trader's Guild facilitates a major portion of large trade deals. Based out of Clairlending it works out deals with the farmers, herders, and artisans to move goods across Hildenor and beyond as well as bring goods from far and wide to Hildenor. Though, the Hildish folk aren't terribly interested in outside goods.
