The Blue Suns

One of the most famous, and easily the largest, sellsword companies in all of Unorrea; the Blue Suns do business in almost every corner of the world. They have several hundred properties throughout the world ranging from a small guard house in the City of Light to a massive citadel in the Free City of Catol. They have a sterling reputation as one of the finest companies money can buy, never backing out of a contract even when doom is certain. However, on the streets and back alleys they also have a reputation for being some of the most brutal combatants around and in smaller provinces where Lord’s and Rulers have employed their services as the local constabulary, dark stories of martial law and brutal punishments have been told.

Structure

The Blue Suns are organized locally into splinter-companies called Flares. Each Flare of the Blue Suns is lead by a Captain-General who is the commanding officer for all Blue Suns operatives in their assigned region (usually done by Kingdom, but sometimes that varies). The entire company is commanded by the Knight-Paramount, a position currently held by a seasoned Paladin named Gorvag Steelhelm.
While the Knight-Paramount technically has direct supervisory control over each of the Flares, the fact remains that the large distances between the Flares means that the majority of the Flares are autonomous members of the Company. And like most things in this world, some Flares are good, some are bad.

Public Agenda

The Goals of the Blue Suns vary from Flare to Flare and generally fall in line with those of their employer. When a Flare is currently without contract, the majority of their daily routine and efforts is directed into recruiting new sellswords and/or maintaining the company’s holdings.

Values

The Blue Suns’ values can be summarized as the following:

• A contract is binding. There is no exception.

• In Peace vigilance, in War victory, in death sacrifice.

• They will fight to defend the helpless, but only so long as the helpless can pay. It seems harsh, but they are a company of sellswords and compromising that risks ruining everything else they stand for

Assets

As a global organization, the Blue Suns have locations around the world. They generally have a barracks or at least an office located within most of the major cities throughout Unorrea and outposts in some smaller communities. An exact count of troops and other militant assets fluctuates with recruiting intiatives throughout the year, but generally there are approximately 10,000 Blue Suns worldwide at any given point.
