Disgraced

"We're after killin'. Nilfgaardians, Lyrians… 's all the same to us. Strife an' blood an' guts to wash away our shame."

The Disgraced were renegade Skelligers, so branded by the Clan Brokvar's Council of Elders, who were grouped and banished from the archipelago at some point in the first half of the 13th century.

History
In time, the Disgraced became known as near ideal mercenaries. Reasons were plenty: low cost, bearly ferociousness, no signs of fear or pain. They worked for many Continental armies. Nevertheless, after emerging alive from the battles – which they had been entering to seek death since the beginning – they often became frustrated and attacked regular soldiers. After stories of such incidents spread, only most desperate hired them.

In, they sailed into swamps of Angren where they encountered Queen Meve of Lyria and Rivia.
