Wolverines

The Wolverines Battalion, known more commonly as simply the Wolverines, are a mercenary company from Truyea that operate mainly in the Middle Kingdoms, eastern Erenna, and Duscador. Known for a long history of tyrannical commanders, the Wolverines are one of the most storied mercenary companies on the continent. Their sigil is a green clenched fist and wreath on a white field, and their official words are, 'Fear not the sword, fear the silence.'
===History===
The Wolverines were founded as a breakaway company of the Sevician military some 200 years ago. Initially a rebel faction, they soon morphed into a vicious and effective mercenary company, seeing action in small conflicts and civil disputes across Sevicia and the Roni. Cloaked in secrecy, little else is known about the Wolverines save for their reputation, though they are known for their discipline and specifically their tactics on the field of battle. Their official words come from an old Duscadorian proverb: 'In war, fear not the sword or the lash that binds. Fear only the silence, for it brings with it the end.'
===Conflicts===
The Wolverines were present during the Duscadorian revolution in the Tamar Wars and again during the Anaean Wars, though in a limited capacity and without ever agreeing to a contract on either side of either conflict. Their most notable appearance came during the Third Duscadorian-Sevician War of 707-708, where they were contacted Presidian Aigo Tayne of Duscador to fight alongside the Duscadorian army. 
The Wolverines were present at the Battle of Rose Fields, the bloodiest battle in the war and the bloodiest in the continent in four decades. In the battle, Duscador suffered a pyrrhic victory, inflicting heavy casualities on the Sevician forces but losing a significant amount of manpower and being tactically outmaneuvred in the process. The Wolverines Battalion, which led the vanguard into battle, was among the most heavily wounded units, and their supreme commander Asgar Augustus was killed in the melee. It was the last time the Battalion saw action in the war, and their contract was not renewed.
===Military strength===
The present-day Wolverines are a fractured contingent of soldiers, likely numbering less than a thousand in total. Despite their numbers, the Wolverines are known for their tactics on the battlefield, and have triumphed many times in the past against superior numbers. They are led by Manix of Meadow's Vale, who served as captain under Asgar Augustus and assumed command upon his demise.
===Location===
Unlike other mercenary companies, the Wolverines have no permanent base of operations. Instead, they spend time moving between the Lowlands of Sevicia, northern Duscador (above the Neck), and more commonly to the west of the continent, where they have spent most of their history fighting as swords for hire for the constantly-warring Middle Kingdoms.
