Wall-Keeper
"Yes, we do not conquer realms and bring back spoils. We don't have adventures and come back with the good pelts and whatnot. We're just staying here, just standing up a big dumb wall, see? Just making sure none of the countless horrors out there find a weak spot and come make a nice nest out of your mom's ribcage. Nothing major."An exasperated Keeper explaining his role.
A Wall-Keeper is a Legionnaire of the Culling Legion who are tasked with standing guard on the walls of their City-State. While some consider them paranoids workaholics the Keepers know their duty and the consequences of their failing it.

Graduating from Battle-School is enough for any properly evolved Hellion to join the Culling Legion and begin testing and subconsequent training to be appointed on the most appropriate section. Those chosen to be assigned on Wakk-Keeping must be capable of constant vigilance, an obviously vital part of their future duty as the walls are under assault daily from a wide range of threats.

Dangers & Hazards
"Keep your eyes open on all directions, you don't want a flyer or a climber to gouge them out."Depending on the region or the season, monster activity around the walls can range from dangerous to deadly. Monsters with the abilities to climb or jump great distances can swoop in when the guards are not vigilant or fail to react in time. The greatest fiends whose abilities are enhanced with mana can break down the walls with relative hills to turn the defenders and the city into appetizers.
