Man-Eaters

The Man-Eaters are a sellsword company based in White Harbor. Despite the company’s name, and the Skagosi origin of the bulk of its ranks, soldiers of the Man-Eaters are strictly forbidden from consuming human flesh.

The company traces its origins to an especially harsh winter, during which several starving Skagosi families migrated south to White Harbor in search of employment. They were largely met with hostility, however, and struggled to adapt to urban life. Some of these Skagosi migrants were admitted into White Harbor’s city guard, but poor discipline and cultural tension soon led to their dismissal. Thus they turned to mercenary work, putting their savage instincts to good use.

They have continued to recruit primarily from the downtrodden men of Skagos, though positions of leadership are usually occupied by mainland northerners, who are far more adept at managing a company.
