Comments: I’ll be honest this was a first draft but I felt the idea of having a contract that Mercenaries had to fill out would be a really cool lore addition. Sadly I’m not a lawyer so I did my best to make it sound as legally binding as i could I can feel there’s something missing though. Hope you guys like the idea if it needs changes let me know.
