While the input is appreciated, I really think I made my position on this clear. Helping Garlemald would be detrimental to their line of work. It would result in either being forced to submit to their rule along with everyone else or help whatever rebel groups pop up. You're right that "if they weren't so tyrannical they'd make fantastic allies." But they are that tyrannical.
Besides that, the idea of the group is to give people something to do outside the main city states and conflict of the game.
Garlemald is a no-go for this PMC. They wouldn't mind providing arms or selling their silence on any information they happen to come across, but it's left at that.

They aren't all trying to save the world, but there would still be those wide eyed soldiers who think they can. It'd be really interesting to hear the different goals of all the different members.
And about this whole 'would they work for the Garlean Empire' deal, I don't think they would. Working for the Garleans would not only turn everyone around them against them, but burn bridges with many of the smaller local communities that employ them.
This is what I'm hoping to promote. ;) Heroes and self-servers all in the same boat having to adjust to work together. Glad you like.
While they're not worried about turning people against them, I get what you mean about burning bridges. They'd run out of clients if the Garlean Empire's push succeeded. Good to see it doesn't just make sense to me.

With the responses I'm getting it's looking like this Free Company will be up and around sometime very soon. We're already working on getting a site and page up, so anyone interested can be on the look out for it. Still looking for members, employers, and allies.
If you've got any questions, ideas, or suggestions, post them up or send them directly through PM.
