Free Roads Guardsmen

We protect the Free Roads that connect all of Sevenfold, unlike those stuck-up Voidbreakers.
- Bennel of Fleetfoot

The Free Roads Guardsmen emerged as an independent and diverse faction within the Sevenfold Commonwealth, established by Fennan of Fleetfoot, a Harefolk from the tranquil settlement of Fleetfoot. Initially, their mission centered around safeguarding the Free Roads, vital arteries connecting the largest settlements in the realm, against the constant threats posed by bandits and gnolls. However, the faction's true transformation came during the tumultuous period when the Voidbreaker Leaders expelled all non-Wolffolk members, opening its doors to a new wave of recruits.

After its reformation, the Free Roads Guardsmen began to rival the once-dominant Voidbreakers, with support pouring in from a variety of sources. Their ranks swelled with members hailing from all races, including those Wolffolk who chose to sever their ties with the Voidbreakers. This diversity allowed the Guardsmen to adapt to a wide array of situations and become a formidable force within the Sevenfold Commonwealth.

Notably, various locations throughout the realm have greatly benefited from their services. The major settlements connected by the Free Roads, such as Kodiak's Rest, Spellwhisk, Velvetglade, Gentlebreeze, Fleetfoot, and Arnewynd's Endure have all seen increased security and prosperity under the vigilant watch of the Free Roads Guardsmen.

The Free Roads Guardsmen maintain an extensive network of small checkpoints and hidden safehouses scattered throughout Sevenfold. These strategic locations allow them to swiftly respond to threats, shelter travelers in need, and keep a watchful eye on the entire of Sevenfold.

With the influx of skilled warriors from various backgrounds, the Free Roads Guardsmen expanded their mission beyond mere guardianship. They established themselves as a versatile force, offering protection, escort services, and more, effectively establishing a mercenary aspect to their organization. This expansion attracted the attention of wealthy patrons from diverse races, including humanity, who recognized the value of the Guardsmen's services.

The Free Roads Guardsmen employ a straightforward and much more informal ranking system, with titles such as Sentinel, Pathfinder, Stalwart, Defender and Captain (and Chief). Members progress through the ranks based on their skills, dedication, and achievements in maintaining the safety of the Free Roads and its travelers.
