The Company of the Copper Hook
The Company of the Copper Hook is a fighting order dedicated to the destruction of the Kingdom of Kanday and the much-hated Order of the Checkered Shield. They are headquartered in Hyen Keep in the Kingdom of Rethem and are a considerable military force and a threat to their neighbors.
They are sponsored by the Clerical Order of the Fuming Gateand renowned for their Heavy Knights, Copper Weapons, vicious packs of war-dogs, and unyielding discipline in combat.
The order employs an innovative array of tactics and weaponry. Despite their defeat in Ezar‘s War, the Order has received considerable financial support and is over-strength and well equipped. This has enabled the purchase and maintenance of the highest quality warhorses, weapons, and heavy armor.
This organization has not acknowledged the end of Ezar's war and still skirmishes with the Company of the Green Owls in Selvos and the very powerful Order of the Checkered Shield in Menekod. Illriggers of the Company of the Copper Hook are the most militaristic of Illriggers. They usually take contracts with Prince Zakronas (Painkillers).
