Through storms and blistering heat, one type of person has persevered and did it with a smile, the mailman. You have traversed mountains, forest, cities and even caves just to deliver some mail. Your title holds the meaning of honor, pride and promise that you will do your duty with a smile, no matter the stakes. As a postman you have gone through rigorous training and have been sworn into the guild. It is your duty to do your job to the best of your ability, cause without the postmen, society would collapse.

As an established and respected member of a guild, you can rely on certain benefits that membership provides. Your fellow guild members will provide you with lodging and food if necessary, and pay for your funeral if needed. In some cities and towns, a guildhall offers a central place to meet other members of your profession, which can be a good place to meet potential patrons, allies, or hirelings.
After years of practice and work you have found that city layouts generally share similarities. You can easily find your way around most cities and you are capable of getting information and work from that city's post office, from locations of notable people, to places of intrigue and local happenings. Additionally, you are able to use your position to deliver different types of mail without suspicion.
