The below mercenary companies and heroes can be hired by regents to perform work for them. To hire them, make sure that they are available in your area and that you have their demanded price (if you don't, the consequences could be grisly). The price is per season (turn). Then contact the DM to check whether your desired company or person is available at that time. Note that this list may change from time to time, as companies gain or lose units, new companies are made, etc.
Mercenary companies act as normal land units. They can serve as long as the regent pays them, and their loyalty may vary from company to company.
