The Hired Blades

Since antiquity humankind has been obsessed with fighting. The Hired Blades are an elite group warriors. There is no mercy, or as they say "Mercy is for the weak".

The founding fathers of this elite group are known only as Master Doomageddon Dark Lord of All, Lord Septicus and Shredee the Brute these three created the Hired Blades and were high lords but most of the warriors apart of the Hired Blades were seen as slaves having sworn to live and die by the sword.

As Thucydides (Thucydides was an Athenian historian, political philosopher and general.) once reported, when a Hired Blade went to war his wife would present him his shield and say, “With this or upon this.” Trained from slave were taken from their mothers and sent to military boot camps. Here they were introduced to enormous hardship including scarce food and clothing.

This would often lead to them becoming prolific thieves. If they were caught, however, they were punished severely – not for stealing, but for being caught. The equivalent of a modern day tank, the Hired Blade knight was covered in armour and would plough through enemy lines with ease. Not just anyone could achieve Hired Blade knight status however, and often it was a fairly expensive title to hold. A good war horse with a Hired Blade upon it could cost roughly the same amount as a small airplane.

The concept of the Hired Blade was revolutionary for its day as it was the first time in history that a man could make a legitimate living entirely off of warfare and killing. In order to attain this position though, a Hired Blade soldier had to work his way up through the ranks of the most powerful military on the face of the planet and prove that there were none better.
