Marketplace disturbance

While packing your gear in the small quarters, a young acolyte runs into the room. "Father Enzio summons you to the roof!" Following behind the acolyte you quickly ascend the stairs to the roof, where you see most of the clergy and your companions on the east side of the building this morning. Squinting against the sunlight, you see a crowd has gathered as a person in bandages is moving around one of the marketplaces.

The First City, on it's plateau

What Lord Beric knows

Damien Thunder, King of the Battlefield and Leader of the Black Company was unstoppable in battle. He and the Black Company were integral to pushing back the demons to the North before the Wall. He never failed a mission for the first Emperor. I don't know anything about the chalice, but I do know that he was known to drink blood before every battle.

Narrah Illawarra was an Elorri planter, meaning that he planted one of their seven Trees for the seven races that they exterminated. I believe that he was the planter for the Il-haun.

Of the Wand of Rangwa, I know only that it was crafted by powerful wizards of the Ssethregore empire, prior to the first Imperium.

Damien and Narrah were two of the original founding members of the Black Company, along with two others, but I'm afraid that I don't recall their names.

Interesting that you ask about this information, as I recently found a cache of ancient books and scrolls in the wild part of the First City that had to do with the Black Company. Mostly it's supply information. You may look at them if you like.

• Paperwork contains the following of note:
  • Lots of salt.
  • Company had goldsmiths on staff

According to what I've read about the Black Company when I was studying war history, the Black Company was named so because wherever they went the sky turned into night. When asked where their next mission was, they would reply with "wherever and whenever the stars dictate"
