Sword and Shield

The Sword and Shield is a mercenaries' guild in Katapesh. It is a loosely organixation made up of professional mercenaries—bodyguards, caravan guards, and any other hired swords. It is governed by a triad of appointed guild leaders: Rae Dawn the Black, Zaxion Earthfire, and Bennet Marl. The new members are interviewed by the Triad and must give a demonstration of their skills. Members pay monthly dues equal to a percentage of their pay from guild job assignments.
