Paragon's Call

 is a mercenary group originating in Bassuras, in the Hellcatch Valley of Marquet.

Description
Paragon's Call is primarily motivated by who will pay them the most, rather than by any specific principles, and are known for their efficiency.

Background
Paragon's Call originated in Bassuras. They are notorious within the Hellcatch Valley for their brutality, and rose to prominence during the Apex War between Aeshanadoor and the Stratos Throne. They later moved some operations into Jrusar and began making efforts to appear both more socially acceptable and official.

The Green Seekers had encountered the Paragon's Call multiple times, prior to the latter's attempts to appear more acceptable, and doubted that the Paragon's Call's rebranding was anything other than an attempt to make more money.

Bells Hells noticed an announcement on the job board at the Spire by Fire Inn calling for the Chandei Quorum to approve the authority of the Paragon's Call to help restore peace in Jrusar and quash the Hubatt Corsairs.

General Ratanish and multiple other members of Paragon's Call were present at the Masquerade Ball hosted by the Chandei Quorum in their chambers. Ratanish was approached by Vali Dertrana when he saw Ashton Greymoore wearing the costume of the Nightmare King. Ratanish immediately confronted Ashton, snatching away his mask and leading to a duel between them.

Ratanish eventually defeated Ashton in their fistfight duel, leading to mutual respect between them. Following his victory, Ratanish used the opportunity to advertise the group's services and availability for hire to the assembled crowd. Lord Eshteross noted that Paragon's Call had recently been making an effort to become more official. Ratanish also extended an offer of employment to Ashton, should they be seeking more interesting jobs.

Bells Hells and Dusk learned that Armand Treshi was likely hiding in the Seat of Disdain, the Paragon's Call's fortress in Bassuras. Fearne Wildshaped into a quokka to infiltrate the fortress and was able to gather some intelligence, but did not see Treshi within.

A number of members of Paragon's Call, led by Tanvir, confronted Bells Hells when they came down to breakfast at the Raha Den as they had noticed them outside the Seat of Disdain the previous day. After an initial misstep by Imogen, Laudna and Ashton managed to convince them they were interested in speaking with Ratanish. The mercenaries told Bells Hells that they would find them again if they did not follow through. Later, Laudna and Orym, now heavily disguised, watched the Seat of Disdain for much of the day and saw Treshi take a smoke break on the roof.
