Pathcutter

It's how I started out myself. The Empire pays well, but unfortunately it's young person's work, and it has not contributed to maintaining what youth I have left.
-Atenas Swift

Pathcutting is the profession of initial frontiering, clearing, and marking paths for eventual roads to be placed. It was most prominent during the reign of the Emyrian Empire of Man, but has seen a resurgence in the Frozen North and Valax's Cauldron with the signing of the Re-expansion Doctrine.
