Escort Agency
Escort Agencies are the transport strand of the neutral group. They take on contracts to escort goods and people across dangerous regions, applying their martial arts to keep cargo and clients safe through bandit territory and unorthodox-controlled roads.
Escort Agency arts pursue defensive operation. Their practitioners typically reach high mid-rank routinely; the work demands consistent combat performance over years rather than peak burst in a single moment. The Agency's reputation is its core asset, which is why most agencies maintain strict service guarantees.
