The She-Wolves were an all-female amazon mercenary company based in the island of Ixinos in the Vilhon Reach in the mid-to-late 14th century DR.[1][3]
Organization[]
The She-Wolves had two units of infantry, one of cavalry and one of archers, each of 50 members. There were also 10 scouts, 10 sorceresses, and 20 priestesses.[1]
Tactics[]
They were a very cohesive group, able to fight on all kinds of terrain. They were also very skilled at changing tactics during a battle thanks to a rapid code.[1]
Contracts[]
The She-Wolves never accepted work from men that looked down on women, and followed a code of honor trying to help all women in need. They also acted as the army of Ixinos, and charged 500 gold pieces per week for their services.[1]
History[]
The She-Wolves were founded circa the Year of the Wilted Flowers, 1258 DR, to allow the amazons of Ixinos to satisfy their wanderlust and earn coin for their island home.[1]
On the isle of Ixinos in the Vilhon Reach lived a matriarchal human culture where women were trained as warriors from birth. Around 1258 DR, they started going outside the island and acted as a mercenary company. In time, they destroyed a large number of pirate groups in the Sea of Fallen Stars.[1] The amazon society of Ixinos existed in seclusion from the rest of the Reach. They engaged in trade but kept it exclusive to female-captained merchant ships.[3]
In the Year of the Gauntlet, 1369 DR, the She-Wolves Brianna Tarvison and Pahelhe Firecaster, were among the guests of Lord Partic Thistle at Thistleflame Keep in Cormyr.[4][2]
As of the Year of the Tankard, 1370 DR, amazons of the She-Wolves company continued to helm mercenary campaigns in the Vilhon Reach and defended the shores of Ixinos from pirate incursions.[3]
