War Chest

The War Chest is a large bank/mercenary hiring company based in Averey

History
As the Empire fell, war often sprung up in it's place. Even in Highworth battles were common as barons and counts fought for control of lucrative trade rights.From the Marchlands to Voltias violence erupted, and all of this was often done by mercenaries who,after a long twilight under the empire, had a new re-birth. In Averey, large and increasingly rich, a few old mencearies sw another way to profit from war. They created a fund whose job would hire,move, and equip mercenaries for various buyers. With no allegiance except money, they soon became popualr. The name comes from the old days when the entire fund could be stored in one chest.

The first major war was the Ten Baronies War, in the upper reaches of the Derwent. This was so profitably, the War Chest began expandign operations to include the wartorn Marchlands. As time went on they became richer and richer, with more mercenaries at thier beck and call. In time, they became a vetiable multi-national coproations handling troops from Skarnal to Nihet, with offices in every, major realm.
