The Company Standard

Item from The Black Company by Glen Cook

The Black Company's banner — the one physical object that matters as much as the Annals. Where the banner stands, the Company exists. Where it falls, brothers die to pick it up.

Also known as: The Standard, The Company Banner, The Black Banner

• The standard-bearer role is both ceremonial and tactical — Murgen holds it alongside his Annalist duties
• Has been replaced many times across four centuries but the continuity matters more than the cloth
