 ==History==
-Originally formed by the mayoral council of Janeiro, in the principality of Almark, some six hundred and fifty years ago. They were created to form the backbone of defense against the raiding bands from the [[Thesil meadows]], and the occasional tribe of [[Orc]] that would come down from the Red Hills. They served in this capacity until the people of the Meadowlands were gathered under a single banner some hundred years later. Then they assisted in holding back the invading horde until the clash at Sesvyr, which saw the defeat of the Prince of Almark at the hands of the [[Thane of Meadowford]]. At this point, the province of Almark was annexed and added to the slowly growing kingdom.

-Time had changed these returning men, time and conflict, and this made them feel ill at ease when they returned to their ancestral home. Collectively they had seen and participated in so much more than their kin that they would eventually pull up roots. A year after returning to Janerio, they once again offered their services to the newly installed [[Baron of Almark]], to serve as a mercenary company in and around the province. Since then, that is what they did. Right up until the [[Schism]] after the death of [[Duke Geran]].

 From thence they joined with the Loyalist forces that sided with the [[Erebus Redclaw]], the Thane of Meadowford, against the Usurper-Baron [[Adolph Karl Wiglaf]]. They formed the official company sent from Almark to defend the Ducal capitol and await the return of the Heir, [[Burel Tassnehof]], who had been sent into hiding until he was old enough to retake the throne. It was during this time the most notable members of the Brotherhood were to join. Amongst them being [[Kerrak al'Nerun]], [[Jons Feul]], [[Gerhard Karolinger]] and [[Damien Stanislav]]. It was also during this time that the Brotherhood separated from their roots as a company traditionally centered around the foot soldier, to a band that preferred tactical mobility and flexibility. And so, they became a company of horse.

 Captain [[Kerrak al'Nerun]] brought the Brotherhood out of a recently pacified Almark and into the territory of [[Myrken Wood]], where he sought to help protect the troubled land from the various depredations and troubles that wrack the region. They offered their services to the [[Order of Straka]] on several occasions, assisting in the patrols that traveled the length of [[Giscard Guillaume|Giscard]]’s [[Wall]], dispatching long-term sorties into the woodlands of Myrken where Straka were not prepared (or trained) to go, and assisting travelers coming through the [[North Passage Down]] and the [[Gilroy Pass]]. In general, they became part of the defence of the province, to the extent that their Captain served for a time as [[Councilor for Defence and Civil Security]].
