A skilled woodsmen could use any old signal flare, they would be good enough not ot get caught.I like the idea of splitting the areas the Rangers cover into North and South. Southern Ranger insulting a Northern Ranger..."if you had any skill you would be hunting goblins instead of goat poachers."As far as manditory service, the 1500 men (and women?) on the role of the Muster would be roughly 14% of the population. That would require some sort of manditory service. I'll add manditory training to the requirements of being on the list for the Muster, I'll also add that having your name listed is age dependant (say 16 to 20). Military men or members of the city militia would not have to have their children listed (that would be a good perk for joining the voluntary city militia). Perhaps there should be a third level of defense to the city, a militia level where every able bodied man would be called to the wall, this would be only for the most dire of circumstances but having a population with at least some skill with a bow and a pole arm would be helpful if the city was in danger of being overrun. I would doubt civilians would be trianed to handle a sword as that seems to be asking for trouble, but short bow (or Crossbow) training and/or rudimentary pike training and manditory listing for service from the age of 16 to 20 should add to the frontier feel. These measures could of been set into effect many years ago after the city was overrun and burned, now people see them as a nuisance but you never know (plot hook)</blockquote>
