Organization
Funded by Jamal al-Yindannim's impressive coffers, the Mercenary Army did not have trouble attracting new recruits. All new recruits needed to first pass a security check conducted by Ali al-Lazan–Jamal's Chief Inquisitor. Soldiers who passed the inspection had a geas placed upon them to ensure their complete loyalty.
The strength of the Army's forces as of 1367 DR is listed below:
- 10 Captains
- 20 Lieutenants
- 40 Sergeants
- 50 Heavy infantry
- 70 Medium infantry
- 350 Light infantry
- 150 Crossbowmen
- 100 Archers
- 200 Light cavalry
The heavy infantry of the Army was composed completely of skilled hill giants and the medium infantry of ogres.
Activities
The Army was maintained in battle-ready status by executing continuous raids on the al-Badia of the Haunted Lands and Furrowed Mountains.
Base of Operations
The Army was based in the fortress of Krak al-Niraan within the Weeping Desert of the Haunted Lands, though only a quarter of the forces were present within the fortress at any given time since most of the soldiers were out raiding.
Members
Barzan al-Hiyali was the captain and commander of the Army. A brilliant warmonger genie named Khaizuran devised all of the Army's strategy.
