The Gilded Jackals are a mercenary bandit guild motivated purely by profit. Based in Lusteris, they operate wherever gold flows—and lately, that’s meant the Hellrock Hills west of Southaven.
Unlike the idealistic Black Thorns or the secretive Duskrunners, the Jackals make no pretense about their motives. They take contracts, raid caravans, and provide muscle for anyone willing to pay. Loyalty is bought, not earned, and a Jackal’s allegiance lasts exactly as long as the coin does.
Structure
The Gilded Jackals operate as a loose confederation of crews, each led by a Packmaster. Packmasters answer to the Golden Fang, the guild’s shadowy leader who coordinates major operations and negotiates high-value contracts from Lusteris. Individual crews have significant autonomy, which makes the Jackals adaptable but prone to infighting when profits dry up.
