Hearth Guardsmen

In the lands of Gower, these ever vigilant guardians of the clans defend their villages and townships from any evil who dares trespass. -Hearth Guardsmen, Cast of Character, Myth III Manual

Description
Hearth Guardsmen were barbaric guardians from the northern parts of the world during the Wind Age. These protectors are equipped with wooden shields and a bundle of javelins that have half the range of a normal archer. They were essential in the defense of Yursgrad when the Myrkridia attempted to ravage the town, and they aided Connacht in hunting down the fearsome beasts' dens in the Dire Marsh. While they were barely ever used afterwards, the most famous of guardsmen was a man named Ulrik, who managed to take down a Myrkridian Giant by himself.

"…Leaping from the tree, Ulrik drove his spear down into the head of the Myrkridian Giant. As the beast dropped to the dirt, kicking it's [sic] death throes, Ulrik bellowed his war-cry to the advancing Myrkridian devils. With snarling hisses, the fell creatures retreated back into the darkness. There would be no feeding this night…"
