The Skybolts was a mercenary company registered with the Mercenary Guild. Their winter quarters were in the village of Bolthaven in southwestern Rethwellan. They were commanded for many years by Lerryn Twoblades, a well-respected Captain, beloved by his troops. When the mercenary forces hired by Menmelith were routed in a surprise attack by "bandit" reinforcements out of Karsite, Lerryn was killed in the resulting pursuit. The casualties included his second, Icolan, and nearly all his other officers.
