Mercenaries in the Kurathene?

Post by Midknight » Thu Apr 28, 2005 5:15 am

I've been looking around for any info on this sort, possibly considering one as an alt for the Kurathene - considering that the Kurathene Empire seems very feudal, it seems to make sense that most lordlings would hire some sort of army or warriors - anything in particular to keep in mind when creating a mercenary character?

I would imagine a mercenary could do amazingly well in the Fiefs. I don't see there being to much major problems or considerations, except for the lawful nature of the Kurathene. Even a mercenary would still be expected to follow the traditional code of conduct, and bound by some sort of honour.. or at least that would be expected, not necessarily followed.

Also, consider racial backgrounds. A mercenary warrior from Tyedu might not do as well as a local or foregner from another country.

Regardless, whatever character concept you come up with, I would imagine you could be in demand if a Feif war breaks out.

I know if I was on the battlefield and I got hit by a pile of shit... I'd probably go home.
