History
The Iron Company stands as a paragon of professionalism and security within the intricate web of the Northern Realms. Founded by Heinrich Koman, a visionary and former Consortium banker, the genesis of this mercenary band arose from an astute observation—a glaring inadequacy in the domain of safeguarding valuable assets, be it taxes, treasury, or esteemed personalities traversing the Empire. In the year 1139 AF, the Iron Company emerged, birthed with a singular and paramount purpose: to undertake contracts aimed at safeguarding the transit of invaluable cargoes and esteemed individuals through the perilous passages of the Northern Realms. Their reputation precedes them throughout the Northern Realms, whispered tales of their unparalleled reliability and unyielding resolve echoing in the corridors of power and in the streets alike. The Iron Company's presence is not just a deterrent; it's a reassurance to those who seek to transport valuable assets or escort esteemed figures through treacherous territories.Goals and Structure
At the heart of the Iron Company's distinct identity lies their trademark attire—a foreboding ensemble donned in black cloth and iron armor. Every coachman is uniformed in this distinctive garb, their appearance an imposing spectacle that instills both fear and confidence in equal measure. This uniformity serves as a visual testament to the company's solidarity and professionalism. Adorned with a banner as somber as their attire, the company's standard unfurls a plain black canvas, embellished solely by a resplendent golden chalice—a symbol of their commitment to safeguarding the most valuable treasures entrusted to their care. This emblem resonates as a beacon of assurance amid the chaos, a promise of protection and unwavering dedication to their cause. The backbone of the Iron Company comprises a cohort of retainers, meticulously trained and handpicked for their unwavering loyalty and prowess in matters of defense and safeguarding. For every four retainers stands a formidable Man at Arms, exemplifying the hierarchy and organizational structure that underpins the company's operational efficiency. Their contracts are not merely transactions but sacred obligations, undertaken with an unwavering sense of duty and commitment. The Iron Company's services are sought after not just for their formidable might but for their adherence to honor, integrity, and a steadfast pledge to protect that which is entrusted to their care. Within the labyrinthine landscapes of the Northern Realms, where the safety of treasures and lives hangs in the balance, the Iron Company stands as an indomitable bastion—guardians of the realm's most prized possessions, epitomizing the amalgamation of strength, reliability, and unwavering dedication to their noble cause.The Iron Company
