The Blackbanners

The Blackbanners are a group of mercenaries that hold court in the city of Bannercross. They ascended in importance during the Fall of the Pantheon after being a rag-tag group of bounty hunters lead by Banner Black. The group is made up of lycanthropes and shifters of all kinds, shifters trace their roots back to the Banner Clan members who had their curses removed as service to the Nine during the Fall.

Goals
After being gifted the town of Streightcross after the Fall the band fortified it and transformed it into the city of Bannercross. The group operate from the city and use it as a base for their operations in defending the coast and the City of Bridges.
 * Blackbanner agents range the heartlands of Ventestrum on solo missions, hunting down dangerous beasts and more human threats to the farming folk of the region.
 * Agents patrol the foothills and mountains of the eastern most arm of the Gunclaeds to protect from any foreign incursion through the peaks.
 * At any one time there may be a number of agents based in The City, investigating threats to the Nine's interests and to the people. These agents usually operate with much more secrecy than their mainland counterparts as to not inspire fear.
 * Nobles often seek out the assistance of the Blackbanners as guards when they must travel through foreign or dangerous territory for whatever reason.

Known Members
The band is lead by the grandson of Banner Black, Herald Black, who acts as the Lord of Bannercross alongside his obligations to the group.
