Settler (5e Subclass)
From D&D Wiki
When a new land is discovered and need to be occupied, someone needs to be the first to establish itself in that area, discovering the paths and how to avoid natural dangers; looking for signs of basic and valuable resources; founding and protecting the first communities in the land; and, lastly, fighting and killing native threats - or possible threats, that may become a menace to the community soon to be raised in that location.
That's the job of a settler, sent to the far corners of the earth to fight against the dangers hidden in the wild, being the wardens of the savage frontiers against barbarians and beasts alike. Sometimes seen as heroic figures, who protect the innocent from monsters who surround isolated communities; sometimes seen as murderous monsters, pillaging, invading and killing indigenous creatures, taking their lands and enslaving the survivors, Ranger settlers are controversial figures, but a unavoidable path to the foundation of a nation.
