Mission
Mission Statement
Seek out and engage in battle with powerful enemies to test and hone their skills
Never serve a kingdom, banner, or political entity—remain absolutely independent
Honor all fair duels, challenges, and battle rites
Protect the innocent when possible, but never interfere unless there is challenge or purpose
Spread fear, chaos, and awe—not cruelty
Values
Fight fair. Die well. Drink after.
The weak are to be left standing. The strong must fall to grow.
Coins can be stolen. Honor must be earned.
We are the storm. You can’t own us.
If you want our blade, fight for it.
