Resident Mercenaries

Introduction:

A limited number of clans who reside in freehold will do so under a resident mercenary agreement.  

The basis for such an agreement is generally access to the grove/quarry for reagents, with the resources themselves being given to Freehold, and bind slots in the hamlets adjacent to the city rent-free.

These resident mercenaries provide military support and are called upon in times of need.  They are not authorized or expected to perform civic police duties or be present at other times.

Resident mercenaries are usually provided with bindslots in the hamlets of Banagar and Brockmoore, so that they may gear up and respond if the city is under hostile control or attack.

Military Response:

Mercenaries in freehold are not required to respond to aggression unless specifically requested by the ranking officer online of rank Major and above.  They may respond to aggression of their own initiative, but must first obtain permission from the ranking officer.

In addition to the normal rules of freehold, certain rules apply specifically to resident mercenaries.

Resident mercenaries :

1) may not attack Freehold members or other resident mercenary clans at any time, nor are Freehold members permitted to attack them.  If attacked, or if in a group that is attacked, they are obligated to respond with minimal force.   

2) are discouraged from attacking freehold guests at any time (players which are currently paying residents of freehold) but this is not enforced.

3) are expected to keep the resources reasonably tapped in the hamlet in which they are stationed.

4) must ally Freehold, and all other resident mercenaries

5) must maintain a coordinating presence in the Freehold ventrilo server
