The Battleguard

HE BATTLEGUARD is a force of dwarves led by Arkel Stonecrusher. They are responsible for defending Sarbreenar against attacks from the Underdark. A series of passages and tunnels lead through the nearby mountains to Cityguard – a Dwarven bridgehead that guards a descent into the Underdark.

Requirements

• Dwarven Defender (only rank)
• Must be eligible for the Dwarven Defender prestige class, and must take at least one level in this class. Doing so joins the Battleguard.
• 100 TU / year.
• All Dwarves are expected to work as hard as their superiors — wouldn’t want to let the side down!
• Must act in a manner so as not to bring disrepute to Dwarves and the Battleguard. Dwarves who bring dishonour to the Battleguard risk expulsion.
