Midnight Marauders

The Midnight Marauders are a sellsword company based in Duskendale. Founded by former bandits, it continues to specialize in irregular warfare.

The original Marauders were a gang of bandits led by Qyle Venomtip and Foss the Dog, both natives of Duskendale. Equally infamous for their cunning and elusiveness, they were primarily active in the Kingswood during the first decades after the Targaryen conquest. After losing the bulk of their men in a skirmish, however, they reconsidered their interest in living as outlaws.

Instead they returned to Duskendale, and under new identities they reconstituted their following as a sellsword company. A few years later, their true identities were publicly revealed, and both faced justice for their former crimes.

However, the Marauders had by then grown into a successful enterprise, and they were replaced by even more effective leaders. The gradual growth of King’s Landing brought with it a gradual decline in Duskendale, leaving many of its denizens with few better opportunities than service to a sellsword company.
