The Emerald Enclave

The Emerald Enclave started as a Mercenary group hired by the Blossoming Empire State during the war to help fill roles in smaller Towns and villages that needed protection from the wilds. Helping train local people to protect themselves and they're kin. The Enclave however showed themselves very quickly to be more then just a Mercenary group, they began to band together, creating barracks and jobs for people whom needed protection and income, becoming hunters and rangers, monster hunters and law keepers to smaller places in the south far from the Spires reach, the open mercenary work meant that anyone with adventuring training or survival training could join and make there ways up the ranks to help with the issues of the harsh swamp & forest lands of the south. When the war ended the Enclave was a strong Militarised unit which was under the employment of the State. Eventually the Blossoming Empire bought the Enclave and continued to invest within its pursuits realising that this roaming military could help so many people and help the Elven Spires reputation in the process. The Enclave is a symbol to all that the South may be dangerous with its wildlife, but there are those who are willing to serve and protect those who cant protect themselves. Monster Hunters mostly the Emerald Enclave are a symbol of hope & order to all whom see their colours or banners. Now the enclave stand strong with a barracks within most every village, town and city within the south, helping those whom have the coin with monster issues and the places they live with keeping those monsters out. Not all enclave members stay within the local areas they reside in however, some roam around looking for tasks and jobs to take when they can to help those whom may find themselves in the ambush of a goblin attack, or the resting place of an owlbears territory.
