Black Lions are independent warriors who safeguard settlements, towns, and trade cities. Often acting as scouts, spies, or enforcers to a powerful magistrate, emissary, or organization. Black Lion's possess a keen sense for physical combat, local politics, and top-down administration. They prefer to navigate crowded streets than roam the untamed wildernesses of the world. At the core of every Black Lion is the theme of a moderate lifestyle, advantageous politics, and battlefield improvisation. Lions are forward thinkers and every movement they make is always a step in the right direction.
