In the Sacred Band of Stepsons universe and the Thieves World shared fictional universe, "Stepsons" was originally the name chosen by Tempus's Sacred Band and individual hand-picked mercenaries, in the pay of the Rankan empire, who provided the military organization and defense capabilities for the city-state of Sanctuary, managing interoperations with the Rankan garrison there. Subsequently, as the Band grew, the Stepsons functioned as Tempus's core cadre and elite military corps within the Sacred Band of Stepsons and coordinating activities with the 3rd Commando, the Successors, the Sanctuary city guard, and other companies.
