The Young Wolves

Leader: Captain Faen Cuerdish, the white wolf.

This is a group of young lordless knights and younger sons that have banded together in a self styled Fianna (ancient band of warriors). They hire themselves out, largely to the great city lords of Alba. They are reputed for their loyalty to a contract and effectiveness. Their reputation for success has made them one of the most renowned mercenary groups in the east, and they attract members from across marches.

Rumours:

- they were recently employed by the crown of Alba to subdue the Lord of Branwyn. After besieging the town they captured the inner fortress, and imprisoned the Lord Mayor. They sent messengers to the King for payment, who decided his interests were better served by withholding payment and forgiving the Lord Mayor. The young wolves have fortified the town and are raiding south down the river Fienna in order to make up their losses, with interest.

- the outlaw Sir Hanroi was affiliated with the Young wolves. He had on his possession a letter from the white wolf instructing him to return to Muirgane, a small port city in Alba.
