“The Brothers of Goyen, Wielders of the Righteous Sword"

~Story of the Goyen Mercenaries~

The tragic story of the Goyen Mercenaries begins when a messenger from Dandelion makes an offer they could not refuse.

The Goyen Mercenaries were a group of lost men without allegiances and only bound together by the necessity to survive.

The mercenaries were expert swordsman and it is said that their leader, Goyen was able to handle the Steel Great Sword, as tall as a grown man, with little effort.

 

Their numbers grew each day as they trained endlessly, honing their combat skills.

They swore an oath to pledge allegiance to each other and created a bond cemented in blood.

Unfortunately, Dandelion had planned to deceive the mercenaries by using them in the war against Larcsy.

The Goyen brothers were promised acceptance into the order of Dandelion, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire prestige and riches if they had succeeded in aiding Dandelion in their war.

 

The brothers had little idea that this would be their ultimate downfall as they did not expect to be deceived.

By the time they realized they were merely pawns and that reinforcements would never come to save them, it was already too late.

Goyen died, and his Great Sword was forever lost.

 

In their defeat, the mercenaries who survived swore revenge against Dandelion for their betrayal.

However, Dandelion itself ended up losing the war against Larcsy disappearing into history, and the Goyen Mercenaries had lost a chance for revenge.

From that day the brothers took a vow,

to reclaim what was rightfully theirs - the Great Sword bearing Goyen’s soul.
