Their organisation carried no ranks, instead operating on a mysterious hierarchy that changed fluidly depending on the circumstances. Their flag was bare and displayed no heraldry. In emergencies they could form a mobile arm of light cavalry numbering around eight hundred. Known for their neutrality, Borderswords made themselves available for hire and they made loyal and reliable companions. They were especially useful for wilderness treks bringing skills related to cooking, hunting, camping, and managing horses.

The Borderswords at Riven Keep helped support their population with mass hunts on the plains to the west and north where they competed for Bhederin with the Jheleck. Branches of the Borderswords had fought in both the Forulkan War and the Jheleck War. The southern branch had been the first to respond to the invading Forulkans, staggering their enemies at great cost. Their numbers dwindled to the point where they were used as veteran auxiliaries, but they still managed to participate in all of the final battles of the war. Before the war's end House Hust supplied them with the first of the legendary Hust swords and they became the core of the Hust Legion. The northern branch fought the Jheleck largely in their wolf forms and grew to respect them as individual warriors, but vanquished them when they tried to fight as armies.
