Mercenary Captain Question?

[Wavemanmav]

I became a mercenary captain for one faction (this is in the Eagle and Wolves mod, but I assume the same rules apply as native).  I wish to renounce my captaincy, but I don't see that option when I talk to the king.  I want to renounce it, because I am ready to take a castle and want to be able to keep it as an independent lord.  Any ideas on a solution?

you have to wait a certain amount of time, I think one month

In native the contract is for 3 months so unless it's changed you have to wait for that time.
The only other way to end the contract is to join the faction as a lord (you could call it an upgrade) and then renounce your oath. You need to fulfill the requirements for becoming a lord (renown) and your relation with the faction leader will suffer.

Thanks for the info.

You can also ignore your orders as a mercenary. You'll take two or three relation hits, but it doesn't require doing work to quit (the merc quest automatically ends if you fail a few merc subquests).

Isn't it so that you need to renounce the oath to the lord you swore it for?

Speak with the faction ruler.
