LORE & BACKGROUND

For as long as there have been folk, there have been those with a talent for violence and too little wit to direct it. Some fall into thuggery or darker whispers, but others find their place within the ranks of a town’s guard.

Employed to break up street violence, watch for thieves, and defend their homes in the worst of days, the militia are lawmen and soldiers both. In the beleaguered Azerai Empire, the Penitent Crusade is stretched thin across the realm, and so the first line of defence often falls to local hands.

They are common folk, possessed of no special brilliance or sacred calling, yet they stand between their townships and the varifold horrors that prey upon the wounded world. Against bandits, monsters, cults, and metaphysical evils, they hold the line because no one else may come in time.
