"For the silver you proffer, our swords we offer."

We are mercenaries. We work for whomever pays the most.
We extend our girded services to all, disregarding race,
gender, social status, or record with authority.
We don’t plot against law, we exercise to replete our wealth.
We do not fight against each other.
We detain the right to defy bidding you our services for
reasons we see fit. For instance, we will not harm children.

An example of what we are capable of:

- Escorting:
Escorting of an individual, or a group of individuals (from a precise location to another) [2 silvers per mercenary]

- Guarding:
1. Person(s): Offering protection to an individual or a group of individuals, for a determined group of individuals for a determined amount of time. [1 silver per mercenary and per hour. Price = Amount of Mercs. * Hours ]
2. Area: Protection of an area and the people within for a specified amount of time. [2 silvers per mercenary and per hour. Price = Amount of Mercs. * hours * 2]
3. An object: We may hold possession of an item safely and away from regard for a specified amount of time. [0.5 silvers/dwarven day]

-Surveillance of trades:
1. Watching over a single trade. [3 silvers]
2. Watching over a series of trades. [1 silver per mercenary and per hour. Price = Amount of Mercs * hours]

- Hiring us for expected combats or assaults:
If you require a few of our units for vigilante missions in known areas, or if you desire to assault a town, or group of individuals for intimidation (Not assassination) purposes, such as opposite merchants, courtesans, cheating husbands or wives, etc.. Or if, during a time of war, would like our men and women to fight by your side, you may contact us. Prices are negotiated in private.

- Deliver messages/goods safely. [1 silver to deliver a message (Normal, friendly one.), 2 silvers to deliver a threatening, menacing message, 3-4 silvers to deliver goods, depending on the value of the goods.]

Of course, we are capable of much more, and this is a mere overview of our abilities. If you are interested in our services, please send the current leader (Elian) a dove, with all required details, a price and offer will follow up to be consented or not.

A few able men already stand by our ranks, all tied by a brotherhood like code of conduct, you can expect quality, and pernickety, and swiftness during our operations.
As long as you’ve got the silver, we’ve got the blades.[/color]

If you would like to earn a coin, and are a person of trust and courage, willing to swear an oath of conduct and live amongst other mercenaries, treating them like your own siblings, do send me a dove, and I will get in contact with you.

We are few, that’s what proffers our quality and makes differs us from others.

A rather tall, obviously elven, shadowy figure walks to the board and reads about mercenaries, He is wearing a highly scratched Salkamaerian Officer's armor that looks like it has seen many battle a vibrant green cape ripples over it as the wind blows. He stands looking at the post with his weight shifted to his left where there are two serinjah blades sheathed on his hip a little lower if you look closely are two daggers strapped to his leg. He writes his reply:

Unless you or anyone in the guild can best me I am not joining and since I am not a mercenary under your guild yet, the rules of honour do not apply so if you want my blade best me. I will serve no one weaker than me so if you want to show me your skills you can meet me at the collumn of fire mountain. If you dont know where that is I still dont want to join, because mercenaries should be completely aware of the land they roam.

~my name is my own~

((feel free to send me an OOC message to work out time if you know where the mountain is otherwise this is a waste of my characters time))

Sounds like you're much more trouble than you're worth.

~Unsigned

I am sure the miners' guild will be glad of your candidature to their ranks.
Thank you for your proposal, nonetheless.

As a note to future applicants, please send me a dove if you desire joining, do not post on this parchment. Do the same if you require a service you wish to keep anonymous from others.

~ Elian

(( Please refrain from posting un-related replies here, thanks. ))

After much reflection, all mercenaries are urged to head to Troll's Bane as fast as they can, to lend their blade free of charge to fight off the undead attack. A way to prove to the citizens of Gobaith we are men and women of honor.

Elian

A new message has been scribbled at the bottom of the parchment;

All mercenaries who wish to lend their aid, are to meet at Troll's Bane's tavern as fast as possible.

Deuce has been excluded from the Silver Sword.

Code of Conduct - The Silver Sword wrote: 4- A mercenary shall never lie to another, and remain ever truthful.

The list of services has been updated.
Some people confused us with hired assassins, which we're not.

Elian

Changed the hierarchy.
We now go as:
Captain of the Silver Sword
Lieutenant of the Silver Sword
Mercenary of the Silver Sword

I would greatly like to speak to any member of the Silver Sword that is still around. I have left my bird at this board if you would care to send me a message.
