Another small thing: I wouldn't really describe someone who's around 35 as a "young man". (From the very beginning.) I'd say once you're 25 or so you're no longer young in that sense.

You could say:

The city of Voskon was fast asleep as a guard, no older than thirty-five...

or:

The city of Voskon was fast asleep as a man, no older than thirty-five...

I couldn't think of any age-related suggestions to fit that category.
