Truce

The Truce is a sellsword company based in King’s Landing. First established in the Riverlands, it was named for the unlikely partnership of its two founders.

During the War of the Ninepenny Kings, a knight of House Blackwood and a knight of House Bracken - who shared both a personal and familial hatred - were forced to cooperate at the helm of the same army. Though the experience of the war did little to lessen their mutual contempt, their partnership proved exceptionally effective.

After the war, they agreed to continue suspending their feud for the sake of fortune. However, both eventually retired from their mercenary careers, and their bitter rivalry immediately resumed. According to company lore, the Blackwood later slew the Bracken in a duel, only to shortly thereafter die from his wounds.
