Warriors are the most common, and perhaps
necessary, adventurers. Without the bravado
of warriors, combat would be exceedingly difficult
for other occupations. 5 different classes of warriors
exist, each with different advantages and disadvantages.
The typical warrior, compared to other
occupations, is unrestricted regarding arms and armor,
and is the deadliest foe at close quarters. The
classes of warriors include gladiator, knight, mercenary,
militiaman, and soldier.
The most common class of warriors, soldiers
are loyal to the military of their state and receive
average training. When not at war or in training,
soldiers are usually building or repairing roads.
Daily wages are typically 10 s.p. for light infantry,
and higher for others. For more information, see
