Introductions
For centuries uncounted, the Brotherhood of the Blade (only its latest name) have served the wandering pageant as security. The Brotherhood is currently about three dozen strong, but is made up of smaller groups like the Four Horsemen and the Sons of Hercules. Although the guardsmen make up the bulk of the Brotherhood, the other two groups are more prestigious as equestrians and strongmen and there is more than a little strife between individuals and cliques that can lead to occasional dust-ups. It is Vulo Vodach who currently leads the Brotherhood and it is he who is responsible for ending the regular brawls and occasional melees that take place between members over lost lovers, wounded pride and too much drink.

The Four Horsemen
Obviously, the four horsemen are equestrians, and as such they stand well above the other pageant performers because they are warriors who ride, rather than walk.

The Mithraeum
[[]]
The Brotherhood carries with it an ancient tent and stone alter that they call the Mithraeum, where in they hold their solder's rites of passage and the occasional duel. When the pageant comes to a new place and remains over a fortnight, a long trench is dug and the ancient tent put over it, then the tent is covered with loose earth because the rites of Mithra are supposed to be practiced in underground temples.
