The highest job any non-magician in Khitish can reasonably aspire to is to become one of the personal bodyguards of the Magocracy.

Though not particularly deadly on their own, these bodyguards are extremely adept at protecting their masters and foiling attempts to disrupt spells, making the already-deadly mages that much worse.
