Tarquiniann Mercenaries

The Tarquiniann Mercenaries was a militaristic branch open for hire, operating in Asgarnia, Misthalin and Kandarin. At the height of their power during the late Fourth Age, they were roughly 50,000 members strong, but nowadays their power and numbers have waned significantly.

History
In the year 1432 Fourth Age, as many kingdoms compete for power over their neighbours, a militant group decides to make some profit out of the chaos and this military branch was formed. It was named after their first leader, Lord Tarquinius Galantius I of Asgarnia. After him a dynasty was formed for more than seven generations. It ended when Lord Maximillian Indridge replaced the dynasty with a more "diplomactic" system. Although the Galantius dynasty was over, the leaders are still called the Lord Tarquinius. Example Lord Tarquinius, Maximillian. The current Lord Tarquinius is Alexander Arkforde III.

Uniform
Fourth Age 1432-1521: Due to the fact that they were a small group of mercenaries, all armour are self-supplied, therefore not standard.

1521-1639: As numbers grow, they can afford cheap but reliable equipment. Mostly iron but officers above receive steel.

1639-2000: At the peak of their power, they are able to afford the best of everything, even equiping the basic recruits with powerful runite armour.

Fifth Age 1-169: As conflicts die down, so do the number of members. By the start of age most of the members have left due to the lack of work opportunity and steel equipment was standardized to cope with the budget.
