Black Company Synopsis

What are you doing here? You know this Company only territory? Oh, you're a visitor? On the Captain's orders, I suppose.Well, I'm Ash, the Annalist. I record everything that goes on around here, meaning I get to interrogate you and write down everything I learn. I hope you're not hiding anything.

What's that? You're asking what the Black Company is? We're a mercenary group, kid. That's right, we get hired to do dirty work. Sound pleasant, huh? So do you want to join? You can be our clean up kid, clean up all the slob our fellow soldiers leave after the get drunk.

Who are we working for now? You're behind the times, you know that? Everyone who lives here knows about the war. Just passing through then, huh? Yeah well, We're working for The Lady and her government. See, there's some nasty Rebels who seem to have it in their head to get rid of the Lady.

Yeah, you better hope you don't meet the Lady, or her servants, The Ten Who Were Taken. They're nasty, they are. Thing is, the Rebel is even nastier and their nasty Circle of Eighteen. In case you haven't noticed now isn't a good time to take a vacation here.

Now get out of here, kid. This is no place for a passerby. If you value your life you'd better get of the war zone.
