City guard (background)

This page describes a part of Icesus that no longer exists.

Backgrounds were how a character was put together before kingdoms and stories replaced them. None of the choices described here can be made in the game today. The page is kept as a record of how Icesus used to work.

Add to that old mistrust and quarrels between the different races in the city, and you will understand why the city guards must be strong, healthy people with skill in combat.
