-=(Armor and Uniforms)=-

Armor Regulations

Regulations regarding the use of armor are an important part of maintaining the might of the military, due to the simplicity of doing harm to the metal suit of armor these tenets have been placed to prevent such harm from occurring.

 

Ways one can harm the condition of the armor:

-Getting struck with any form of arms including bare hands

-Being pelted with snow

-Being pelted with eggs

To show respect do not do the above to your comrades. There is also the assault/Stark Raving Mad law to take into consideration as well.

 

When off duty:

The Legionnaire must not bear his suit of armor nor utilize it in any scenario such as hunting (A stone sword can be requested for free) and should have it stored away safely in his or her bunk, if a Stoneguard or higher is caught using their armor off duty they will be disciplined and will have to suffer a honor reduction as well as pay for the repairs.

 

When on duty:

Only use your armor effectively when encountering an armed conflict (Equip Armor into your slots), if any other scenario you are to not wear your armor as to prevent harm, armor may be used as an intimidation factor if required at any point in time.

Is the duty in which a Legionnaire is to protect the mighty stone gate way of the capitol, during this time it is his or her goal to open and close the gates depending on whom is requesting entry, there are two types of phrases a Guard must adhere to when challenging someone who wishes entry and a list of features a person may bear that will not allow them access.

Any peculiar sightings are to be reported to the Legion Commander for further inspection.
