History
Isen, though born human, shares his body with three wood elf liches. Growing up he’s always leaned progressive thanks to the liches possessing him, convincing him to fight for justice when the town he lives in is rather conservative and human-centric. Eventually he was inspired to create a guild of mercenaries with a cause- knowing that many in Maefyzer would be willing to fight for what’s right.
To get the money needed to make the group happen, he hired mercenaries that became part of the group to help him steal from nobles. With the extra money they received they were able to build their own fortress and disperse the rest to those in need. They’ve become one the largest wood elf groups in the world, with even factions in other continents like Symilf and West Jyalb.
