Brass Blades

The Brass Blades are an organization in Final Fantasy XIV. In the service of the wealthy Ul'dahns represented by the Syndicate, the Brass Blades are a military force composed of mercenaries tasked with maintaining peace and order in the sultanate.
==Overview==
Though they ostensibly fall under the auspices of the Divan, in truth they are only too aware of who pays their wages. Thus, they are known to act according to the wishes of the rich, and few would object to calling them the Monetarists' private army. As sellswords' loyalty may be bought, cases of bribery have grown so numerous as to earn the scorn of honest citizens. However, not all of the Brass Blades are without scruples, and a small number are apparently honorable and earnest in the line of duty.
Each time a Brass Blade is promoted, they are presented with a circlet which, instead of being worn on the head, is worn on the upper arm, the number of circlets representing the Blade's current rank.
