Caravan Guard

The humble Caravan Guard is a common employment among cutthroats and honest strong men who guard the many merchant caravans across Clamund. These men are usually always low-born peasants and freemen who have some modest level of skill with a weapon who is paid to assure that the cargo they are paid to protect reaches their intended location without any hassle or issue, With the high traffic level of the Jade Road, many jobs looking for strong men who could carry a weapon are made to the general population, and the turnout is more than welcome for both parties. 
Caravan Guard's are usually armed with minimal protection, with many abandoning the use of armour over the comfort of common clothing. Caravan Guards also are equipped very modestly as well, either bringing their own equipment from home, or given very minimal gear from their contractors. Although they lack in arms and armour ,many do know the arts of bush craft as caravans usually always are sometimes forced to camp in the wild for the night. 
Many Caravan Guards, especially the younger ones, are usually hand-picked by mercenary captains based on their usefulness in a fight and general features. This makes caravan guards a useful outlet for further training for Sellswords and the many mercenary companies that roam Clamund.
