Conquest C.3 :
Black Alley attracted all the weird things from across the continent. You could find anything and everything, including those that you could not even imagine it existed.
Regardless of what you wanted to buy, no matter how rare or weird, you just had to come to Black Alley in Primal Wildfire Town and hang up a look-out sign. In matter of half a day, there would be a few sneaky looking ragtag came to ask you for an offer.
These people were neither tricksters nor beggars, but some of the mercenary tribal agents.
In Primal Wildfire, there were many large and small tribes. The big ones could consist of thousands of people, while the small ones held a few hundreds. Some of the tribes survived by doing mercenary job, more often they were gangs of thieves and robbers.
The difficulty lies on how to distinguish whether they were mercenaries or the thieves – well, it all depended on their willingness.
The Byzantines had a proverb on how to distinguish between a mercenary group and a group of thieves:
"If you hire mercenaries as bodyguards, after the mission you only need to pay the commission. If by chance they were in a bad mood, they would not only take the commission money, but also rob your last penny – during these moments, you know they were a group of thieves."
