History and Background[edit]

The Sellswords of Gilead are a mercenary company, highly controversial for recruiting children from low-technology worlds and shipping them to harsh Sellsword training facilities. Those who survive became fearsome and skilled practitioners of close combat. Sellswords of Gilead are highly coveted as bodyguards, often found in the employ of criminals and warlords.
