Sable Company

The Sable Company, Korvosa's hippogriff-mounted sky defenders

Members

 * Leader: Zyriel Dawntracker
 * Raeland

Description
(From Guide to Korvosa) Waydon Endrin formed the Sable Company from the remnants of the marines who fought to hold the land now known as Endrin Isle at the founding of the city.

First by tradition, and later by an addendum to the city’s charter, the Sable Company does not answer to the leader of Korvosa, regardless of the leader’s title. Instead, the commandant of the Sable Company reports directly to the Seneschal of Castle Korvosa. The Commandant is also considered the heir-apperant to the role of Seneschal.

Commandant Marcus Thalassinus Endrin was the former leader of the hippogriff-mounted marines in defense of the skies and waters of Korvosa. Shipboard raids and airborne threats fall under the jurisdiction of the black-clad Sable Company, and its members offer aerial and amphibious support to Korvosan Guard operations. The Company relied on its ties with the Guard to coordinate efforts with the Hellknights and Acadamae (neither of which the Sable Company got along with).

The Sable Company is a little more integrated than the Korvosan Guard, allowing any human member to rise as high as general of the company and any other member to gain the rank of major. To date, all leaders have been pureblood Chelaxians from noble families, but in theory any general can receive the promotion to Commandant.

History
Zyriel was a full member of the original Sable Company and held the rank of Major, which among other things entitled him to a hippogriff.

You all met the former Commandant at Trinia Sabor's execution, where he commended you on your work for the good of the city.

After the cult of Urgathoa was put down, Zyriel was promoted to the rank of Major.

Shortly thereafter, disaster struck. The Commandant tried to assassinate the queen and after his quick and brutal death, the Queen called for the arrest of all Marines and the disbanding of the Company, an event known as the Purge.

There were few survivors of the Purge and the highest ranking officer still alive is Zyriel, so he has theoretically assumed command of the Company.

Zyriel, along with Raeland and Kurtz is trying to recapture the former base Talon's Rest to use as a new headquarters.
