The largest group of soldiers on the Rock, aside from the forces commanded by the prince, belongs to the mercenary company called Valkan’s Legion. The organization maintains a building in the Middle City as a meeting place and mustering point for its members, who reside in their own homes when they’re not on active duty. Led by the renowned [[Valkan Riogan]], who heads up many of the legion’s larger operations personally, the company takes on missions on behalf of the crown as well as hiring out squads of soldiers to rich individuals who need protection or security on a temporary basis. Valkan's Legion is simply the best mercenary company for hire in Wildspace. They are led by Valkan Riogan, a fierce fighter anda bold and clever commander. The Legion includes approximately 500 fighters of all descriptions and about 20 mages, priests, and rogues, hired on for special functions. Valkan musters five companies: two companies of archers, two companies of heavy calvary, and a company of artillerists. All Valkan's men are elite mercenaries who are quite aware that they are simply the best in the business. Valkan Riogan has made his fortune and can afford to be choosy about his contracts. When his company is between engagements, he allows his men to stand down with only occasional drills on the Underside. When news comes of a possible assignment, the Legion musters and rents out a couple of warehouses to use as barracks. Naturally, [[Prince Andru]] is not happy with the idea of a force of elite, professional fighters on the Rock who are not under his command. Valkan has agreed, however, that in times of trouble, the Legion will muster with the Bralian Regulars as part of the Rock's forces. **Symbol**: None. **Sphere**: Elite mercenaries ## People - [[Valkan Riogan]] - leader
