This is precisely correct. While his Majesty Duke Cuan does not
like hiring mercenaries, he has not forbidden the hiring of mercenaries by
local groups. As a mercenary myself, I can say that I have sold myself to
many Baronies in wars over the past several years. The very first as I
recollect was to the Barony of Bright Hills at a northern war whose name
escapes me at the moment. Bargained myself up to 16 cookies for that one. :>
Ahhh, fond memories.
