What is a Longmaw?
In the Hadarian Allar's ancient, and long lost home of Sendras, there exists a predator of the highest order, known as the Long Maw Saurian. This titanic creature reflects a number of virtues which many Allar across the post-Civil War diaspora seek to emulate, partially, as a way to remember their fallen homeland. These virtues include hardy resilience, physical prowess, and cunning intelligence.
It is for this reason that the Hadarian vanguard organization, known as the officially Company of Longmaws (or, the Longmaw Company), have chosen their name. Founded in the winter of 310 A.C., they are mercenaries and fighters rooted in the traditions and culture of Hadar. They are generally lightly clad, but heavily armed, utilizing their natural claws, quick movement, and superb regeneration to seize the day. While martial service is one of their primary concerns, a Longmaw is also expected to be an upstanding example of the best that Hadar has to offer, acting as an ambassador of their culture to the Empire at large, and an assurance of Hadarian norms in the city.
Internal Duties and Expectations
The discipline of any fighting force is paramount to its success, and the Company of Longmaws does not break from this fact. No member, whatever their role, is above the duties and expectations of the Company, and all are subject to scrutiny should the situation demand it. The duties and expectations are as follows:
> A Longmaw should hope to possess the virtues of hardy resilience, physical prowess, and/or cunning intelligence, and/or better themselves in the pursuit of such virtues.
> Act well to other members of the Longmaw Company; exhibit comradery, good sportsmanship, and fairness. Be more than just soulless warriors; to live well and to make war.
> Exemplify the best traditions of Hadar, and reinforce their Hadarian roots. Train and practice amongst Longmaws and other fighters, and enforce Kelahiran roles amongst kin.
> Contribute to the betterment of Hadarians everywhere, whether at home or abroad, through martial and material support. Longmaw or not, a Hadarian bleeds similar blood. The hunt is to take place alongside benevolent and positive action.
> Future specifications, and additional duties and expectations may be added in the future.

>> Especially, provide communal support for Hadarians in the city. Far from the southern homelands, Hadarians must stay close amongst their kin. Longmaws are expected to hold tight towards kin, and protect and support them when it is necessary, with no expectation of additional compensation.
> Adhere to Regalian law and the Mercenary Code while within its jurisdiction. Longmaws must remember their role as cultural ambassadors to the Regalian population. Bad faith and undesirable actions will affect and reflect back to the rest of the Company.> Future specifications, and additional duties and expectations may be added in the future.
In accordance with the internal expectations of the Longmaws, so too do these expectations fall back upon the Longmaw leadership. It is for this reason that the Longmaw Company prides itself in fulfilling a necessary and altruistic role for Hadarians within its ranks, acting as something of a secondary home in the event such a secondary home and set of support is needed. The Longmaw Company will:
> Longmaws will be provided internal distribution of wealth from completed contracts, bounties, and other work, in accordance with the Longmaw philosophy on Hadarian betterment. Longmaws will pass payment to Company leadership for fair distribution throughout the Company.
> Longmaws will be provided with Longmaw Company housing at [INSERT LOCATION HERE]. Such housing will include basic amenities of life, in addition to Hadarian ones, such as Modra Root.
> Longmaws will be provided with healing services by the Company medic. If unavailable, they will be reimbursed by a Longmaw Company fund if such healing a procedure was conducted by a private clinic, at private expense.
> Future allocations may be added in the future.
