MercVerk was founded as a way for those in Midgard not blessed at
birth with riches or power to improve their lives through their
own efforts. The MercVerk have our own factional building, The
"MercHaus", which is a place of lodging and training for MercVerk
adherants. 
MercVerk clans are expected to assist in the defence
of the city in which our MercHaus is located, regardless of factional
allignment of the city, and MercVerk citizens will come and live
in a city with a MercHaus. They can be called up to defend that
city from any and all attackers.
As such, a city with one or more MercHauses in it is considered a
safer place to live, thereby increasing population pressure.
MercVerk is more rigid in its organisation and behavioral require ments than the other factions, and all MercVerk clans are expected to obey those requirements. We are known as valiant, battle hardened fighters and pride ourselves on keeping our word and honouring the Mercverk code. Hereditary backgrounds play no part in the faction.
The MercVerk do not favour any one faction or belief. Since we
follow a rigid code, we are sometimes considered more like an
order of hired knights than pure mercenaries. However, do not
be fooled into thinking that our "code" prevents us from
taking an advantage. Right and wrong are only words that are
defined by the terms of the contract.
MercVerk will rigorously
respond to acts of aggression against our people/holdings,
or to aggression against the non-aligned civilians of Midgard.
However, since we are a mercenary force, once bound by contract
we are honour bound to abide by all its terms.
