 **The Golden Billet** are an unusual mercenary group founded in Urgon, to provide defence and security to local landowners, rather than to  fight wars for clients.  Most are followers of either Abadar or St Cuthbert, while a few follow Iomedae.  The deities’ motives may be different, and the members aren’t always the most religious, but they can all get behind the organisation’s main philosophy - a secure life with laws applied consistently.  They are prepared to extend their influence deep into the colony - for a small fee.
-**F.I.G** are a secondary investment group, represented, in Finaroka, by Lady Christiana.  They almost act like a bank or development fund.  If you have a good proposition, FIG will lend you money -  but it must be repaid with interest over the next few years.  Digging a little deeper, will reveal that many businessmen and minor nobles are members of FIG, not large, or adventurous, enough to make major investments of their own - they are happy to hedge their bets via the FIG.

 **Golden Dawn** are the original Venture Company tasked with creating a settlement on the mainland.  After careful consideration, they chose a hilly Island at the edge of the Mulcroft Delta, it isn’t the best place to build or farm, but it is a good place to get a foothold on the mainland.  There were three principals, Tyr Corlian (the current Lord Croston and a distant relative of the King of Stilan), Jade Shay (A sorcerer and a distant relative of the Governor) and Scun Kenyr (an experienced explorer and scout from Galinia).  They were lent some soldiers, from the King of Stilan’s personal forces, to help them establish their holding.  Between them, they now own most of Croston.
