THE REDMANES MERCENARY COMPANY
Though famed the realm over for services provided to the many citizens and adventurers of Hydaelyn's nations, the Adventurer's Guilds of the world suffer from a shared weakness: an inability to accept a variety of contracts of clandestine, dubious, or potentially criminal nature. Enabled though they are to operate with an increased level of freedom as compared to local guard and policing forces, the Adventurer's Guilds are ultimately shackled by the laws of the nations in which they are stationed. While operating in this manner does have its benefits, the problems that arise cannot be denied. From the shackles of bureaucracy limiting the scope of their function to minimum compensation requirements which protect their adventurer clients but shut out some of those in greatest need, there are simply too many gaps through which decent folk might fall.
Thus was the Redmanes Mercenary Company founded. Owned and operated by some of the Star's most experienced adventurers, the Redmanes exist to take on the challenges that the standard Adventurer's Guilds either can't, or won't. Our ranks are comprised of those strong willed few capable of dirtying their hands in order to serve all decent citizens of Eorzea and beyond, but particularly those who cannot turn to the usual channels for one reason or another. We are veteran soldiers, studious researchers, daring explorers, and warriors from near and far. More than this, we are well traveled people of the world familiar with the needs of the people.
We are Redmanes, and we go forth in honor to bring our strength to bear.
GUILDMASTERS
REGINA DORAN-EMMELLR
As one of the most experienced adventurers and freelance researchers alive today, Regina's extensive experience has not only given her an intimate understanding of the needs so many the world over still have, but of how ineffectual the Adventurer's Guilds themselves can be. Her experience matches her travels: vast, far reaching, and full of wonder and danger. As a researcher with close ties to the Students of Baldesion, she's been able to learn things about our Star that many would struggle to understand. As a veteran of numerous wartime campaigns, including assisting in the dismantling of the Weapon program out of Werlyt and the parts she played in both the Dragonsong War and the Bozjan Resistance, she's witnessed firsthand how dangerous and heartbreaking this world can be.
ELYSIA DORAN-EMMELLR ELYTHRIA
Elysia Doran-Emmellr Elythria, renowned hero and champion to many, and beloved wife of Regina. Known by many names and for many things, nowadays she is but a woman in search of peace and constant entertainment, helming the Tavern as a passion project alongside her most beloved.Just don't get on her bad side, and things will be just peachy.
GUILD MEMBERS
KAINE KYOKO
Known to some in the East as a Sword Saint, Kaine joined the Redmanes upon its founding. Originally hailing from Yanxia, she's been employed by various guilds and businesses in the past, and of late has been trying to adapt to life in Eorzea. A person of few words, little has been said about her origins. While her stoic attitude is fairly common among more grizzled adventurers, her specialized skillset sets them apart and may provide some insight as to her life before crossing the sea to Eorzea.
SHION KYOKO
Beyond her elegant and alluring attire, eloquent mannerisms, and oft perplexing personality, Shon's knowledge of the Star and the laws of the universe seems to surpass even the most studious of Sharlyan scholars. A supposed Adventurer, her experience and skillset is as yet largely unknown, even to the other Redmanes.
