[[File:Event 07.png|thumb|210x210px]] Similar to the player company there are other mercenary companies that take [[Contracts]] for the living in Darklands. They consist of highly skilled [[Mercenary|Mercenaries]] that are well armed and armored. Some companies spawn together with [[Hedge Knight]]s, [[Swordmaster]]s, [[Master Archer]]s or [[Wardogs]]. They are highly dangerous, and confrontation should be avoided, unless your company is up for a challenging fight with great loot. Also notice, that you will have a negative opinion penalty with a town or house, which hired a mercenary company if you decide to attack one, except when they attack you during a [[Contracts#deliver_item|Deliver Item]] contract. Anyway if you attack one mercenary company, other mercenary companies will not pay attention on it - you will not have negative opinion with them. Various mercenary companies can be found roaming around on the [[Global map]] and are also actively looking for and accepting [[Contracts]] from settlements. You are not the only mercenaries out there! [[Category:Enemies]] [[Category:Civilians]] [[Category:Humans]]
