Daggerford militia

The Daggerford militia was a standing army kept by the fortified town that comprised citizens from all walks of life.

Activities
Despite the requirements for all citizens to serve, active deployments in the militia were rather sparse.

Soldiers were required to carry out guard duty or patrol the lands beyond the town's walls.

Training
Each recruit was issued a suit of studded leather armor and given a spear. They were trained in horsemanship and taught how to wield their spear in combat. While only one day of training was required each month, some militiamen attended more often in order to further hone their skills.

The duke's master–at–arms offered additional martial training to those who had access to other weapons, or individuals of noble birth.

Base of Operations
The militia was headquartered in the town's barracks,

Relationships
In the years following the Second Dragonspear War, the militia fought alongside the 3 company of Waterdeep's High Guard.

Members
Every able-bodied resident of Daggerford was required to serve within the militia for 20 years of their life. Those who were deemed too young, too old, or women who were either pregnant or raising young children, were exempt.

The age range that determined whether someone was fit for duty varied depending on race. Those required to serve were:
 * Humans, between 15 to 35 years old
 * Halflings, between 22 to 60 years old
 * Dwarves, between 35 to 120 years old
 * Gnomes, between 50 to 250 years old
 * Elves, between 150 to 500 years old

To avoid service, it was possible for someone to pay for another individual in their stead. This payment came to the full cost of that soldiers expenses while in service.
