Followers are individuals or small groups of NPCs who have heard of you and your feats and deeds, and wish to assist you in some way. They do not have to join you directly, as you can send them on missions, quests, or even have them return to your base camp or stronghold, known in rules as a Hold. Examples of Followers could be a low level warrior who is grateful to you, or a apprentice mage who has offered his service in exchange for tutelage.

Followers are typically controlled by the GM.
