The Black Company

Location from The Black Company by Glen Cook

The last free company of Khatovar — four hundred years old, always for hire, never for sale. They've served tyrants, they've fought gods, and they write it all down.

Also known as: The Black Company, The Company, The Last Free Company of Khatovar
