100 Town Guards

Settlements of all sizes in fantasy RPG settings are often under threat. Whether it's small towns being harassed by gangs of bandits or attacked by roving bands of ogres, or big cities being threatened by pirate fleets or besieged by armies of the undead, there are dangers aplenty even in the most "civilized" of areas. And the people who keep the peace, and who protect the citizens from these threats, are the members of the guard. Whether the town's guards are just locals who stepped up to the job, former militia or military veterans or even adventurers (or worse) who've since "retired" into an easier line of work will vary. The following list contains potential guards who run the gamut from gate watchers and beat guards, to inspectors and detectives, to those who bring a rather specialized skill set to the town or city they protect. So if your settlements could use a little more flavor, you're sure to find someone (or more likely several someones) below!
