Just a quick note, because Ive encountered some problems with this, and in hindsight I should have posted it a long time ago.
If you wish to talk about anything regarding the northern fiefs of Mercenaries, you must contact, Merc_BlueberryMuffin, Merc_Tyr or Merc_Noctivagant. Trading is prohibited in these lands due to our current state of war with Nordmen. If you wish to trade in these lands, you must contact Merc_Haboe, and he might establish a trade route with you, if you have a large enough economy to trade with.
The southern fiefs in the Dhirim area, are open to randomers who wish to trade unmolested, and is run by a section of Mercs who prefer a freer state of strategus. If you wish to discuss anything about these fiefs you must contact Merc_Gingerpussy or Merc_DaveUKR.
To make it clear, these are two seperate entities. Ofcourse we will support each other if attacked, but all decisions made in the respective areas, are made by their own managers. So please for the love of god, dont come asking to buy a village off me in the south or something, because I have absolutely no power, or say in regards to these fiefs.
Hope this clears a few things up for those smaller factions. For those bigger factions coming to wipe us and steal our children, well then I love you too.
