Soulrest is the centre of Black Marsh's mercenary industry. Anyone who doesn't mind doing a bit of killing and some ethically dubious missions can find plenty of work here. This is my plan for how it works:
In the docks of Soulrest is a sleazy, run-down bar called the Oddjob. The barman has many contacts, both legitimate and underworld, and introduces them to skilful mercenaries that suit the jobs they offer.
The Oddjob is a private bar, so you need to gain access to get to the really top jobs offered inside. Ask around in several other bars for some entry-level jobs, and eventually once you've completed a few the barman from the Oddjob will appear to the player and give them a Member's Pass.
Once the player is a member, they can talk to the barman and from time to time he will tell the player to go upstairs to a room, which will unlock and contain the contact who gives the player the mission. The player may even be introduced to the Shadowscales eventually if they perform well. This is a chance for us to do some fairly dark stuff, which strays from the conventional Fighter's Guild type quests.
Of course, there will be a Fighter's Guild as well (see my other post).
