Sellsword

⅞
When battle looms near, an average person will ask what
they’re fighting for. Their queen? Their god? Their country?
Whatever they decide, the Sellsword knows it to be a lie.
So instead, you brandish steel for the cash it’ll
put in your pocket. After all, if you’re good
at something, you should never do it for
free. That means you live and die by your
reputation and results. This sometimes means
you serve as a platoon leader in understaffed armies or
garrisons, moving between employers when the plunder
dries up, or simply in waiting for the next war.
Your reputation means far more than skill, but it’s not
an easy one to uphold. Actual soldiers will doubt your
loyalty. Peasants will revile you for your brutality. Lords will
tighten their purse strings once the battle is over. So you
take contracts that no one else will: to put down a peasant
revolt, evict blue bloods from their manors, or ransack a
shopkeeper’s premises for a rival guild. After all, it is the
characteristic clink of coins in the hand that drives you to
murder others for profit.
