Cults and thieves' guilds thrive where there are lots of people to feed on, and screen them from their illegal activities. In the cities there are also people who have grown up with the very best of educations, sponsored by affluent and influential parents. These are the citizens. Some citizens take upon them selves to fight cults and thieves but others seek to gain money and power by helping them.</p><p></p><p><strong>Adventures:</strong></p><p>A citizen is a gentleman/lady warrior bred and educated by the finest teachers money can buy. Sometimes a citizen decides to follow in his parents' footsteps and sometimes the citizen may feel confined by his upbringing, striking out on his own.

His skills allow him to excel in urban areas. He knows who's who and where to get the best price. The citizen knows how to deal with people of all layers of society. Citizens are often well dressed and groomed. Their professional nature affords them to buy what finest civilization has to offer.</p><p></p><p><strong>Alignment:</strong></p><p>Citizens can be of any alignment. Their privileged upbringing however gives them a slight lawful bent. Many citizens live by a code of honor, but this is not mandatory. They are free to act as they chose in life. </p><p></p><p><strong>Religion:</strong></p><p>Citizens can be of any religion but they tend to stay with those who have churches in town. This means citizens rarely become followers of wilderness-oriented faiths, for example. It is also common among citizens to pledge allegiance to several different orders.</p><p></p><p><strong>Background:</strong></p><p>Citizens are the sons and daughters of those who have made it in an urban setting. They can be the heirs of nobles, wealthy merchants, or city officials. They have benefited from all the knowledge civilization, by way of teachers and scholars, can pass on to them. Citizens have gained a first rate combat education, as is befitting a duke's heir or niece of the Captain of the watch. They have also been trained in a wide variety of skills needed to make civilization work, such as trade, bookkeeping, or what currently is comme il faut.</p><p></p><p><strong>Races:</strong></p><p>Humans, elves and dwarves are the most common citizens.
