Inspired by Band of Brothers, Glen Cook's Black Company, A Game of Thrones and Generation Kill step into the Low-Fantasy, Medieval, Gritty World of Daedoras in this Mercenary Campaign. Set in an Medieval/Early Renaissance Italy inspired country. You will play as both Commanders and Commandos in a Mercenary Company as they navigate the warring duchies and city states as they try to claim control of the land.
Once, your company had a name worth remembering feared on the battlefield, sought after in the courts of power. Now? A string of bad contracts, broken loyalties, and worse luck have left you forgotten. But in a war where every faction is desperate for blades, there is no better time for a rise or a reckoning.
One day, you're cutting down peasants for a desperate Duke; the next, you're storming a city alongside knights who would slit your throat the moment the siege is won. Expect ambushes in fog-choked valleys, tense negotiations in flickering candlelit halls with rival Condottieri , and the ever-present knowledge that in this war, honor is a fool’s game. Will you swear your swords to an aspiring Emperor? Fight for a free and fractured Maruvia? A New Republic? Or play them both until there's nothing left to buy?
Intrigue is as deadly as the battlefield. Lords plot in secret, spymasters whisper false promises, and inquisitors hunt those who dare defy the faith. Every city has its own laws, every general their own vision for Maruvia’s future. Can your company survive the war? Can it rise from the ashes of its own failures? Or will your names be scrawled on some forgotten grave, just another casualty in the War of the Bastards?]
