You head to the stables, squire in tow. Its largely empty aside from a few tanks and a single half-tracked carrier. The driver sits on the hood of the armoured carrier, chatting with his two bodyguards and smoking an ebony pipe. He notices your approach and tamps out the cinders, hopping to the cobbles and tucking his pipe into his shirt pocket.
Sir Kelarn, right? You show him the contract and he nods. He waves a gloved hand dismissively and the guards clamber into a small compartment just behind the driver's cabin.
We're ready to go anytime Sir. Where to first?

Contractor: The Republic of Oceania
Mission: By the Hand of the Official Emissary to the Mainland - Despite our efforts to eradicate the encroaching Litelachian forces, they still maintain a token force on our borders, and they constantly harry our vanguard companies patrolling the area.

Conditions: The invading force must be reduced by at least half their original numbers in order to receive pay. If the attacking party is reduced to below 10% of their original strength upon conducting their first assault, the remaining members will be given a 100 Silver consolation bonus, regardless of whether the original condition was fulfilled or not.

The Kingdom of Oceania's only territory on the mainland. There is a single castle with a pitifully small village outlying it where some of the poorer merchants reside. It houses one of Oceania's three Legions, a massive standing army made up of their mightiest troops, as well as one of the most expansive ports in the known world. The Oceanian Queen allows the Gray Blades to have a fortress in the area, as all Oceanians loathe setting foot beyond the sandy coast and take advantage of their services often.
