Mercenary Generals

A Carrion King’s army is usually large, extensive and full of people of different cultures and races. Naturally, then, organising and commanding such a diverse force is a complex affair at the best of times. For the Captains and lesser-ranking officers, this relies on them being allocated to groups that fit their demographics and expertise. For Generals and high-ranking officers, however, the matter is significantly more difficult. The generals of the Carrion Kingdoms' various mercenary armies must be experts in strategy and tactics, as a one might expect from a military leader. However, uniquely, they must also be well-versed in language and culture, as to better accommodate the many different races and cultures that comprise Carrion armies.
As a result, those that are granted leadership over armies are also gifted with extreme privilege and wealth. They essentially form a sect of nobility in their own right, with vast riches and more flexibility with the law. It is not uncommon for the most successful generals to become official governors and officials within their employer kingdom's government - though in these circumstances loyalty to the monarch and state must be a guarantee, a rare virtue in mercenaries.
