First off, we know the Rovers are not city guards, nor are they part of the Imperial Army. Rovers may be bands of Imperial armsmen sent out on the Roads to make sure they stay clear of bandits and such. They probably have tokens from the Empire, or are given stipends, so they do not have to pay for their own food and lodging. It is also possible that they may have some small jurisdictional powers, and can hence mete out small judgments, help settle disputes, etc. How's that for comments and speculation? :) Stacy
