The Green Company’s Relationship with New Magincia
New Magincia is a fledgling community on Britannia’s fringes, where bold pioneers seek their fortunes outside the city walls. Although its people are humble and hard-working, descent from misguided workers and malevolent outside forces can sometimes cause havoc within the city.
However, opportunity also calls. The terrain is ideal for farming and logging, lending itself to the agriculture and shipbuilding the settlement is known for. Trade links to the East provide a commodity market that can turn little investments into large riches. Each ship that lands bring new immigrants and wanderers, unfortunately, some with questionable intentions.
The Green Company, stationed on the cliffs overlooking the western shore, safeguards New Magincia’s promise. The presence of these seasoned combatants, pledged to defend the people as if they were their own, provides reassurance to established and new citizens. The Green Company also answers to masters upon the distant shores of Serpent’s Hold, bound by oaths of devotion and honor that take precedence over all else. So far, the organization has balanced its twin obligations without creating conflicts of interest or unnecessary tensions. As a result, New Magincia juggles its sometimes-chaotic surroundings and the order imposed by faraway power brokers. Those who persevere, however, may be able to construct an enduring legacy from these humble beginnings on the outside of civilization. The Green Company stands ready to assist in that most noble of undertakings.
