Members of House Blackrune were encouraged to fight with the Blackrune Free Company, but were not required to and participated in many other fighting units in Caid, West, east, Trimaris, and midrealms.
Fighters in the Blackrune Free Company could join for a single war or for different terms of service as fit their interests. Membership in the Free Company does not confer membership in the Household.
