Does Ishgard have any implications of mercenary use, or do they mainly stick to their knights? I'm trying to think of a hook a Roegadyn could have there, but I'm thinking it may be more 'realistic' to have them mainly stick around Camp Dragonhead with a reason for going to Ishgard proper of 'yea I wanna see what's past those big dumb gates'.
Actually at this point we don't even know if the Gates are opening for all or just the WoL and his companions. Granted if the gates are still closed to all in lore, most if not all will ignore and handwave it and go in anyway.
That said the government of Ishgard may not, but we know there is a good deal of wealthy and powerful families that would be the patron of a sellsword for things the church may not aid in.
