The World
The world of the Black Company is divided into North, South and the Shadowmaster's Realm.
At the beginning of our story the Black Company has just arrived at Beryl, one of the Jewel Cities on the south western coast of the great inlet called the Sea of Torments.
Beryl
One of the Jewel Cities that ring the Sea of Torments, Beryl is a large port on the south side of the massive bay. The city is ruled by the Syndic. The Syndic has hired the Black Company as his personal guards and to maintain order in the town. His own troops are rotten to the core with greed and graft, as liable to kill him as obey him.
Rebellion is in the air, preached openly in the streets by some. The Lady's Empire to the north is crumbling and all the ancient evils are circling, looking to snatch up the crumbs and re-establish themselves as petty despots and tyrants.
