"If you run across the Ironsword Company, smile and pay what Kodan demands. You'll live longer that way."
Kodan Ironsword runs a mercenary company quite
Kodan Ironsword runs a mercenary company quite reminiscent of the Fierdsvain, and as such, is infamous around those parts for the usual mercenary reasons: his intense love of money. He believes "Might is Right" and uses this philosophy in battle. A hardened warrior and a cunning tactician, he understands the importance of utilizing heavy cavalry to support his fearless infantry in battle. Unlike some Fierdsvain lords who keep their infantry roots.
He is easily distinguishable in the battlefield as he is a mounted berserker, making him unique. He rides a Ironbred Charger. Equipped with a Heavy Lance with a solid shield, if dismounted or stuck and he is unable to move, he will change weapons to his deadly Ruby Rune Two-handed Sword.
He may just not spawn in Pendor and act freely, he can also be hired as a Mercenary Company by Marius Imperator, King Gregory IV and King Ulric.
