Traveling the perilous highways is a treacherous endeavor, and those who brave it develop crucial skills. The Coachman, who fearlessly navigates this daily gauntlet, faces numerous hazards. The roads are often rough, with neglected surfaces, and trouble can arise from bandits, highwaymen, enraged toll-keepers, and curious roadwardens. Not to mention the occasional lurking monster or marauding band of goblins. The Coachman bears the daunting responsibility of safely transporting passengers and cargo through these perils, and may also be called upon to deliver official messages or serve as a messenger. Only a few Coachmen remain in the profession long enough to benefit from the Teamsters' Guild pension scheme, and some choose to utilize their skills in a life of adventure.
