Weapons Instructor

Scars on his face, with a gruff voice and appearance, this teacher is in charge of teaching the young gnomes proper fighting technique, for those who will continue on to be guards, officers, or even (rarely) a mercenary. He has never been known to give up on a student.

"The thing about crossbows versus bows is that you can't parry a close attack with a bow -- you'd break the poor thing. Now, the smart gnome will keep a sword or dagger on hand, for those times when you run out of arrows and need to defend yourself. That's why we have more weapons than just bows and crossbows: if there were such a thing as a perfect weapon for all situations, we'd just use that!"
