Firemaster Troop
An old group of professional soldiers, mercenaries with weird weapons. These weapons are called "guns" and are completely foreign to everyone. The guns came to its founders in a vision and they built them dutifully. Originally aligned with Erathis, and still are, though no longer any good remains in the group.

History
Originating in Evoria a couple hundred years ago, Ichabod encountered Erathis in a dream. He was told to build a new weapon and use it for her purposes. When he realized how powerful the weapon was, he half-heartedly obeyed her orders. He formed his own organization, the Firemaster Troop, and hired out his newfound machinery.
Fearing Erathis's wrath, he took his troop into the Feywild, hoping to garner support there. He still kept up his worship of her, but his prayers fell on deaf ears. It was here he encountered members of Nemeia's group and agreed to help carry out her plan. His admission price was becoming a skinwalker.
Erathis, putting up with Ichabod no longer, decided to influence a rising and promising member, Galladon, to use against them as revenge. The tools were to be used respectfully and heralded as great works of engineering, not apathetic killers.
When Ichabod found this out, he expelled Galladon from his presence in the Feywild and sent him back to the Prime Material Plane (PMP). In the Feywild, Ichabod followed order from Nemeia to burn as much of it as he could. He did so, burning and uprooting several thousand square miles of forest. With the help of the Advisor Llathula, he and the troop thrusted themselves into the Shadowrealm to do a similar deed.
After this, the troop began following trails of Fonts as instructed by Nemeia, which led them to Lake Tambux. Arriving in PMP, they noticed changes had occurred. Ichabod's family and extended family were wiped out by a rival clan, apparently now in history books. Shaken but not broken, he instructed the troop to gather more troops, as more were needed for their venture.
After gathering a good amount of people, Ichabod set out for the old town of Yym, now thriving. He first sent a squad to Lake Tambux to establish a base to drain the lake. He had some troop stationed as highwaymen who also gathered intelligence. He sent others on the road between Rockwell and Vix's Grave, and still more north of Rockwell. A few others were sent to Riverlands, but they had encountered some other warriors, The Reavers, and were killed, their guns taken.
After establishing the base and draining the lake in time for the early winter, Ichabod sent several of his troop to a nearby tower to act as sentries as well as his skinwalker familiar to patrol the area, fearing Galladon may have survived and after him.
Disbandment
The troop under the control of Ichabod took a contract from some unknown organization. They were cornered inside Lake Tambux where they had used some huge rock as their station, and burrowed underneath it. It was this rock where the final battle took place and BOLD destroyed them.
