Widow's Wastrels

The Widow’s Wastrels are a sellsword company based in Gulltown. With Braavosi origins, its ranks remain evenly split between men of the Vale and men of the Free Cities.

The company was established as one of many ventures initiated by an entrepreneurial Braavosi merchant. Shortly after it was chartered, however, the merchant died of illness, leaving all of his businesses to his wife - who many expected to disband the enterprise.

The widow instead committed fully to her management of the company, despite her complete lack of military and financial experience. With an unusually good eye for talent, she elevated equally inexperienced bravos to positions of leadership. The risk paid off, and the widow became a celebrated figure in Braavos.

The company eventually relocated to Gulltown, though its story still inspires many bravos to cross the sea and enlist into its ranks.
