Kroashent - World of Alvez - Lugoni Caravaners

Quite a while ago, I made a handful of design sketches of some of the factions that make up the background of Alvez, the World of Kroashent.  Despite making them, and quite a few other sketches, I never quite uploaded them.  I found them again and decided to share.

The Lugoni Trading Guild is a collection of merchants, tradesmen and craftsmen operating in Letha and some of its neighbors.  It is also, more directly, the group that Gwae often represents.  These are the uniforms of the guards who protect Lugoni caravans, ships and warehouses.  Lugoni caravaners are a mixture of career soldiers and mercenaries, their ranks swelled and supplemented by the soldiers of wealthy clients.  While hardly an elite force, they are regularly drilled, well-provisioned and decently organized.

Prized Dromad Common Creature — Camel W — 0/3 “Life is a bit like a camel: you can make it do anything you wish, except back up.” —Wisdom of Rebbe Mosheah Illus. Aracubus

I decided this makes more sense in white than green. Not only are camels in Magic traditionally white, but so are nearly all domesticated animals. White is also the color that most needs one-drops.

Also, this is now a functional reprint of Valiant Guard. So there's that.

I'm swapping this in the file with Caravan Guards, which will be moved to green (where most of the other Nomads are ending up).
