The Carrion Pact

The Carrion Pact (often misnamed by outsiders as the Carrion Pack) is a grim and tightly bound company of veteran mercenaries, bonded less by coin than by shared scars. Insular and unsentimental, they rarely socialize beyond their own ranks and are known for taking on the kinds of contracts others flinch at: corpse retrieval, cursed ruin clearances, battlefield cleanup, and monster eradication. What they lack in warmth they make up for in cold efficiency and a reputation that keeps most at a respectful distance. Their silence is unsettling, their professionalism absolute. Where the Grey Guard might rally the people, the Carrion Pact simply arrives, does the job, and vanishes before the blood cools.

Marshal Drenn leads with quiet command, flanked by the unnervingly perceptive Kaya Fen and the shrouded brute Brogg. They are rarely seen in town outside of active assignments, and when they are, they move like ghosts, purposeful, wordless, and always watching.
