Due to the twists and turns of fate… the Emperor of the Zivot Empire ended up asking for help from Misthios Mercenary Guild, the very guild created by the Hero of Darkness whom he had declared to be the killer of most of the members of the Hero of Life's party in front of the whole world.
As a consequence of his own choices, unbeknownst to him, he ended up contacting Legolas Ragnarsson, originally the very person who played a part in his daughter's death.
The most outstanding feat of this specific guild which made even the imperial authorities inclined to hire them was that it had a total of 14 Saints, the highest number of saints in any mercenary guild in the entire Elven Empire.
This was a formidable number of Saints that not even Dukes, Marquises, and the High Kings class of the Elven Empire had in their respective forces.
