The Pale Moon: A Glimpse into the World of Mercenary Companies

As I reflected on the events that had unfolded since Gerald Flick's departure, I couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity with the Ebony Hyenas' quartermaster, Sergeant Charles Erskine. This was largely due to my deep respect for Todd Watermann, who had served as the quartermaster of the Brothers n Arms Mercenary Company before his untimely demise during our last contract.

As the meeting came to a close, Erskine asked me to stay behind, and I obliged. He introduced me to Lieutenant Steven Yeaton, who briefed us on the route we would be taking to Long Bank Manor, as well as any potential delays or obstacles along the way. Yeaton's presentation seemed meticulous, almost as if he were reading from a script, but it was also impressively detailed.

Next, Lieutenant Robyn Morton provided insight into the Under-Dwellers, a group that had been of great interest to me since our first encounter with them. The Ebony Hyenas boasted seventeen sergeants, and I made it a point to learn each of their names during the meeting. This allowed me to put faces to the two lieutenants I hadn't met until then.

Captain Walker took the time to lay out the contract in greater detail than he had previously, shedding light on the local players involved. He mentioned not only our employer but also his neighbors and family members. His dedication to ensuring the well-being of our prisoners was evident, as he had been tasked with their care and had done an excellent job.

Sergeant Rupert Miles, a former corporal in the Swift Sword Point Mercenary company, caught my attention. I recalled being captured by them several years ago, and it was intriguing to see him now as part of the Ebony Hyenas.

The meeting with the officers and sergeants of the Ebony Hyenas proved to be an enlightening experience, offering a glimpse into the complexities of mercenary companies like their own.
