Guard
A Guards for the villages are not what you may typically imagine.
It is someone who contributes to the village in many of the other normal ways. Perhaps they are a leather worker, perhaps a hunter, or a farmer. But have also agreed to defend the village from any dangerous wildlife that comes near.
Their aim isn't to necessarily kill the attacking creature, but to drive it off as they are able, as the residents of The Valley believe in living in living in harmony with nature. Though occassionally the attacking creature is killed, and more rarely a resident of The Valley is killed.
They risk their lives, and train themselves to do this job well when the call goes out at any moment.
Despite the name, a guard may not nessecerily use a weapon, and might instead draw upon magic, or other skills which they use to drive away creatures.
