From thwarting orcish and barbarians raids, to rooting out cults both diabolic and apocalyptic, to slaying dragons, and negotiating an end to a decades long war. Uriah lived through and succeeded at more adventures than any hero outside of old legends. Recently Uriah has found his reflexes slowing and his power waning, and so he now seeks to cement his legacy by forming a mercenary company to continue to fight the good fight in his name. Using his wealth and influence he has taken over an abandoned fort in the foothills of the Skypyre Mountains. While the Silverfang Bastion is still under reconstruction, Uriah and his lieutenants have put out a call for those strong, confident, lucky, or desperate enough to try their hand at adventuring.
