It's also possible to become grandmaster of the order and you can send out patrols. These have no relation to knighthood orders like the shadow legion you get knighthood order troops by having a chapter in your fief and training noble troops into knights by talking to your steward. This game is a sandbox game, it doesn't tell you what to do, you have a big world. I have yet to get bored of this game, but different people like different things. Jatu (requires positive relations with the Jatu) What do you want to do You can become a king, a merchant, mercenary, you can be a dutiful and loyal subject to a king, or you can put a claimant on the thrown and overthow a king.Singalian (requires positive relations with Singalians).Snowlion Brigade (requires war vs Ravenstern or Ravenstern defeated).Sarno Expedition (presumably requires positive relations with Melitine).1st Banneret of Marleons (requires positive relations with Duke Aelfwine and not at war with Sarleon or friendly ownership of Marleons).Red Brotherhood (requires positive relations with the brotherhood).Veccavian Renegades (requires negative relations with Veccavia).Now use the mercenaries to either aid you or simply sit in Laria as defense while you grab the castles nearby. You want to wait until Sarleon is already at war with two other factions, then quickly take Laria and hire a mercenary company. Barclay (requires positive relations with Barclay) Say you chose the area around Laria, which is an awesome spot.Mettenheim (requires positive relations with Mettenheim).According to the PoP wiki, there are 11 companies, and some have special requirements to hire.
