Wyndhaven has its share of mercenaries, though they tend towards cruel scoundrels and humanoids (orcs, hobgoblins, etc.) who were worth their weight in gold to shed blood during the rebellion but outcast once more with the return of "polite" society. Wyndhaven has always been the most welcoming of the Free Cities when it comes to outcasts and villains. You can often find hired muscle competing in the gladiatorial arena to prove their abilities.
Unaffiliated bands of mercenaries also roam the Free City Region in search of work or turning to banditry, especially raiding the refugees fleeing to Aelonia or the Duchy. They make for easy pickings as their numbers are too great for Aelonia to settle and protect them all and the Duchy has no desire for them in the first place and jealously guard their border.
