Iron Maidens

The Iron Maidens were an all-female adventuring company in Faerûn in the 14 century DR.

Activities
The Iron Maidens were willing to take up almost any job asked of them. This included exploring, mapping, scouting, retrieving lost objects, rescuing people, slaying monsters, and plotting ambushes or raids. However, they charged a high fee of 8,000 gold pieces, charging twice or thrice that much for dangerous missions.

Base of Operations
This adventuring company was based in an old castle in the Thunder Peaks that they had found abandoned and decided to restore with their wealth.

History
The Iron Maidens were formed by the adventurer Kiera, after contacting six women she had previously worked with in various different adventuring companies. Among these women was a thief by the name of Lyrissa. Over time they became enemies of Fzoul Chembryl.

One day a rich merchant hired the Iron Maidens for a mission, which turned out to be a set-up orchestrated by agents of Fzoul. All but two were killed in the process, with Kiera and Lyrissa escaping the trap with a valuable necklace from Fzoul's treasury. Later they exacted revenge upon the merchant, with Kiera killing him, and they recruited a new member in the form of Tiralia.

Relationships
Fzoul Chembryl had a bounty of 1,000 gold pieces out for live retrieval of any members of the Iron Maidens, except for Lyrissa, whom he had a bounty of 3,000 gold pieces on for having stolen the necklace from his treasury.
