Order of Hôrús

This organization was an ancient mercenary company. It was founded in the middle of the Second Age by Valkrist, who just had arrived in the South and being introduced as the Lord of Arms. Since the time of its founding its main base and headquarter (where recruits were trained) was located on a small group of islands in the Ûsakan bay. Over the centuries it had amassed an incredible reputation as the most feared mercenary company in the Utter South. Valkrist deliberately chose a name with connections to the local deities: Horûs was the chief of the gods in the ancient Geshân (and later Koronandean and Hathorian) religion; a martial god who often had to combat the evil pretender Sâth.
