Extraneus Mercenarius
Not all who wear their banner do so by choice.
The Extraneus Mercenarius are a fractured coalition of exiles, survivors, and fortune seekers — many rejected by the Red Empire, and distrusted by the White Knights. Whether by exile, abandonment, or personal code, they walk a third path.
Their mobile stronghold is The Crawling Leviathan Zhar'Kan, a colossal turtle that sails the Sea of Zhion. Entire markets, weapons caches, and mercenary barracks are built on its back. As it roams the coasts, it loots abandoned ports, trades stolen goods, and welcomes any drifter with coin and purpose. No one knows how old the creature is — only that it never stops moving.
Many of their ranks hail from far-off dimensions:
Aquantim — ocean-born nomads, smugglers, and salvagers
Terra — land-hardened survivalists and beast tamers
Crelium — rogue technomancers, hackers, and mechanics
Fedora — spies, assassins, and royalty turned mercenary
At the heart of it all are the Crilium — cunning traders obsessed with Ancient Gold, known to fuse arcane relics with forbidden tech. To them, gold isn’t just wealth — it’s power, status, and obsession.
The Mercenarius don’t seek to conquer nor protect. Some fight for coin. Some just want to survive. Others are still searching for a cause they can truly call their own.
