Headhunter's Association

“We do the dirty work while keeping our hands clean.”

## **Description**

The Headhunter’s association is based in the city of Larin. They have a building within Larin that acts as the center of all operations they carry out. It is legalized by Larin to hire mercenaries from within the Headhunter’s Association, as it pays money to the government of Larin every time someone hires a mercenary. Of course, being based in Larin, it is known to be formal. The rules state that you are not allowed to hire a hit on any royal, important figure or politician in any kingdom or empire, due to political unrest and reasons that could start a war. The leader of the Headhunter’s Association, who shall only be known as “The Head,” can authorize protections to be carried out on certain people, and therefore ban mercenaries from being able to kill that target. If a mercenary is caught breaking one of these rules, or a person has tried to hire a mercenary for doing such thing, they will be imprisoned, tortured or killed. The mercenaries at the Headhunter’s association range from beginner to expert mercenaries who always succeed in their jobs, though be wary, the price is quite expensive.
