[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 9256710, member: 58172"] An institution and a member of it can title somewhat interchangeably, like Police or Police Officer. Similarly, the member of a Militia is a Militiaman, or by analogy Militiawoman, Militiaperson, or as neologism Militiafolk, which is somewhat awkward. The term "militant" has a different meaning, of course. The name of the background could be a High Elf Soldier, but the local town militia has a different feel from a nationwide army. Maybe, "High Elf Militia Soldier"? The 2014 "Soldier" feels too broad. Can the description really represent every culture? Perhaps a narrower background like "Neverwinter Army Soldier" is a more helpful description for a specific regional Human local culture. More recent official adventures have explored more specific backgrounds, such as the criminal of a specific city with a relationship to its hegemonic thieves guild. [/QUOTE]
