The Gritters

A large band of mercenaries, that is answering to Merendel Grith. Most of these form their own small bands and go on raiding quests to gather money and slaves. Merendel expects them to pay him tribute, but does not micromanage this large gang. If trouble arises though, all of them respect and obey Merendel, and more than once he has called upon the entire squad. The last time this happened, was when Merendel overthrew the former ruler, Neas Arbordil.

Some leaders of these squads sometimes try to exit the group and make their own party, to avoid answering to Merendel. Legend says he has a chamber in his house where these people live the rest of their lifes getting tortured by Merendel personally.
