Main Antagonists

The Blue Company: A group of forgotten heroes from different ages, wielding incredibly powerful relic weapons. Each of them is a one-person army in their own right. The company was originally a mercenary brigade that was thought to have been lost during the burning of Solon. They killed countless humans, demons, draconians, elves and fae alike, just following orders. And when their world caught fire, they continued killing. They were to the Lower Planes to hold the demon hordes' advances during the end of Solon. Against all odds, they succeeded. But rather than bringing them home, their employer left them to rot in the Lower Planes and sealed the gates to Solon. Against all odds, they survived. And kept killing.

Centuries passed and they moved on from batlefield to battlefield, trapped in the lower planes, battling demon princes and hordes of the White. The breaking of the seal on Solon will also open the gate that brings them home. A home they no longer recognise. But a place with plenty of people to kill. If only they can remember why.

These people have a structure like the avowed and t'lann imass. They draw their power from an oath, and are just empty husks until they find purpose again.We first hear of them because one of their outriders was captured by an elven aristocrat and brought to Vaern (proof that they knew about the path to Solon way before the expedition was announced) and this outrider (just an outrider, not even an officer) will single handedly slaughter his way through the expedition at some point.Then, after his death, we learn that there is an army of people like him...
