The Old World: Grim and Perilous

Scout
Scouts roam through the wilderness, following trails that few other eyes can discern
while keeping an eye out for dangerous beasts, hostile groups, and unnatural occurrences.
They frequently hire their expertise out to armies, merchants, and travelers
who need to go far off the known roads. They are often skilled fighters but rarely deal
with hazards themselves, preferring to slip back to warn their employers.
Most Scouts are, in fact, trappers, huntsmen, or similar individuals with extensive
knowledge about the specific territory they are most familiar with. However, some
of them are true specialists, capable of guiding their clients through previously uncharted
land.
