Tucked in the Eastway district of Baldur’s Gate, Garmult’s House of Mastery is a renowned training hall and informal guildhouse for the Bannerless Legion—a mercenary outfit known for its skill and camaraderie. Part alehouse, part dojo, the establishment is overseen by the stoic and agender martial artist Garmult, whose decades of experience have shaped generations of fighters. The building offers open classes to anyone with coin, but its real purpose lies in being a vetting ground and headquarters for Legion mercenaries. Aspiring members must impress Garmult in a friendly bout before earning access to contracts, camaraderie, and respect. Dezri "Guts" Lamouer, the Legion’s crew leader, often works closely with Garmult to match sellswords with suitable employers, maintaining the House as a vital artery in the city’s flow of hired steel.

The House of Mastery is a ramshackle, three-story timber-and-stone structure that leans slightly over the cobbles of Eastway like a brawler resting on one elbow. Its broad front is adorned with faded red banners marked with fist and flame motifs—symbols of the Bannerless Legion. Windows are left open year-round, allowing the clatter of practice weapons, bursts of laughter, and the bark of instruction to echo down the street. Inside, a vine-covered open-air atrium rises the height of the building, ringed by wraparound balconies where mercenaries sip ale, sharpen blades, or shout down bets. The scent of sweat, oil, and roasted meat lingers in the air. Lanterns hang from ropes above the sparring pit, casting a golden glow over fighters circling in ritual combat beneath the ever-watchful eye of Garmult.
