The Old World - Grim and Perilous Beta v3

Warrior
Roadwarden
The Old World is a huge and wild place. The further from large settlements, the influence
of its inhabitants declines, giving way to untamed forests and lonely hollows. All
kinds of dangers lurk in these wild places, waiting to prey on the careless and ill-prepared.
Bandits and robbers are just the beginning of what travelers usually have to
contend with, so a formation of roadwardens was created to protect them.
Roadwardens collect tolls and maintain the routes of travel, but they are best known
for patrolling the roads looking for dangers that may prey on travelers. They usually
travel on horseback, often covering many miles during the day. Thanks to this, they
are usually excellent riders, toughened and ready for any danger.
