Guard
Creature 1 — human, humanoid
AnvilFlankerLANDhumanoid
Guards are rank-and-file members of a town watch or city guard, trained to look for trouble, take down criminals, and follow orders. Larger societies rely on those with the authority and the ability to interpret and enforce laws. Some carry out these duties fairly, but others are harsh and cruel, imposing severe punishments on anyone unable to pay for clemency.
