The Realm is a vast and dangerous place and for six of its inhabitants, all cast out or exiled from the community that bore them, it is particulary unforgiving. Through chance, adventure and perhaps the will of Ithacus they find each other and discover the value of their unique skills, history and above all friendship. Together they form a band of mercenaries. The Realm may have made their lives hell in the beginning, but as a formidable fighting unit they will exploit all its evils for their just rewards.
