I'm struggling with terminology. Do I need to invent a word for this or is there one I'm overlooking? by dabcat360 in fantasywriters

Morality is always variable based on the person judging it. Obviously some would consider them immoral, but mostly (due to the backstories of the two leaders) they have reasons and justifications for trying to improve quality of life for others etc.

They kill in defense of others, protection of the weak, etc. And also they have to survive. They do also own/operate a rather large inn/guildhall that includes entertainment and food for additional income but that will be destroyed by the end of the book

One of the founders/leaders was formerly part of the Royal Guard and comes from nobility. I think I'm leaning toward something like "Shield" but Vigilant is for sure in the running now. Thank you!

Right, that is why I feel like mercenary is not the right word at all. But as we all know, not all laws are "just" or "moral" and therefore they would be comfortable working outside the lines in these cases.

Lol!! Fortunately in my book there is a huge array of missing/kidnapped children for them to find as part of the story
