=== ''The Gold Swords'' ===
An organization the size of the Bank of Salt requires a way to keep safe its interests. That’s why the bank employs its own private mercenary army, the Gold Swords. These troops are equipped with the finest weapons, armor, and supplies money can buy. However, it is widely known that the Gold Swords rely on their superior equipment far too often. Their actual training and military strategy is lacking. However, for the purposes of the bank, this is not an issue. The Gold Swords have crushed many private armies or local warlords that have made an enemy of the bank. 

The Bank of Salt usually keeps a standing force of two-thousand Gold Swords that can be dispatched at a moment’s notice. However, prior history suggests that within a year, the bank can assemble an additional seven-thousand fully outfitted soldiers. These soldiers are separate from the army of the Eshai Caliphate which has caused some concern amongst the ruling class and Faisal.
