FELSEN WATCH

Sigil of the Imperial City of Felsen

 

The Felsen Watch stands firm defending and watching over  the Imperial City of Felsen and it’s crownlands  from brigands, thieves, beasts, and scoundrels.  An organization where birth matters not, and merit accounts for all.  The Felsen Watch is unlike a formal levy, as they mainly keep the peace within the city, protecting the gentle citizenry.  The Watchmen of Felsen mete out justice where it is due to the scum of the realm, though proper citizenry are awarded a trial and detained until a verdict is reached.

 

“Nothin’ like the smell of fresh Abresi sh*t in the morning.”

Captain Branaford of Abresi, circa 1453, while making his rounds.

 

The Third Reconstruction of Felsen

 

RANKS

OFFICERS

CITY MARSHAL - Elected representative of the City Watch to the Board of Aldermen. Handles the city’s funding of the guard. Serves as official commander of the city in times of siege and defense. In charge of swearing in the Commandants.

 

“It is not useless titles that make men useless, it is useless men that make titles useless.”

Emperor John Frederick Horen, circa 1534, on High Magistrate Denis de Bar

 

COMMANDANT - The de facto commander of the Felsen Watch. He handles the administration of the Watch, along with any task not delegated to the lower ranks.  He handles the promotion of  officers and discipline within the ranks of the Watch.

 

“Appetite comes with eating.”
Captain Fredek Royce of Abresi, circa 1456, in the Mess Hall after driving the cannibals out of the city.

 

LIEUTENANT - An officer of the Watch, specializing between various lower administrational duties such as training, assignments of duties, distributing of supplies and provisions, and calculating and distributing pay.

DRILLMASTER - The drillmaster specializes in training and drilling the guards into capable fighters into capable fighters and a cohesive force against threats to the city.  

QUARTERMASTER - The quartermaster outfits each member of the Watch along with managing provisions such as rations and raw goods.  It is up to the quartermaster to make sure that there is enough armaments and raw goods to turn into needed supplies.

PAYMASTER - The paymaster manages the coffers of the Watch, calculating pay each week for the ranks, making sure the balance stays above minimum before each pay cycle.  When the coffers run dry, it is the paymaster’s responsibility to obtain more from the coffers from the City of Felsen.

 

“Rich men die young.”

Lieutenant Dingo de Sarkozy of Abresi, circa 1448, to an initiate requesting the week’s pay.

 

FOOTMEN

SERJEANT - A proven veteran of the Watch, the Serjeant is a senior footman with limited authority over the lesser guardsmen, capable of leading patrols and leading a small detachment of footmen to carry out an assignment.

 

“What are you going to do, catch it?”

Serjeant Richard Palmer of Abresi, circa 1448, after bludgeoning Rymuel Elendil to death.

 

CITIZEN-AT-ARMS -  Citizens of Felsen, these men are volunteers. Higher in seniority and seen as more loyal to the defense of Felsen than the average watchman, willing citizens may talk to the commandant to be placed on the roster.

 

“I’m an eggshell, protecting the yolk of Felsen.”

Halberdier Nathan Hawthorne, circa 1544, upon joining the Citizen’s Militia.

 

WATCHMAN - The backbone of the guard consisting of rank and file soldiers and footmen who protect our fair City of Felsen from lawlessness.  They have the authority to carry out the law of the Holy Orenian Empire and detain any of those who dare defy the Lexicon of Ashford.  They carry out punishment according to social status within the Empire and detain those who try to avoid it.

 

“You like that?!”

Warden Erik Berhal of Petrus, circa 1474, after smashing a Dwarven merchant’s teeth in.

 

RECRUIT - All watchmen start off as fresh-blooded recruits.  Recruits start without pay, and are expected to serve for one Saint’s Week until their promotion to Guardsman.  They are usually accompanied by a Guardsman or someone of higher rank so that they may learn the ropes.

 

“Sometimes when I close my eyes I can not see.”

Recruit Asgoslav of Felsen, circa 1523, after being struck in the head by an orc.

 

 

A Watchman and a Citizen-at-Arms, ready for battle.

 

UNIFORM

Equipped in a motley of leather and chainmail, the uniform of the Watch is designed to mitigate any harm that may come upon a watchman performing his duty.  Fabricated from state of the art Wheezer leather and ironworks, the standard issue studded gambeson sits atop a chainmail hauberk.  The vibrant and warm colors allow the guard to seem friendly and approachable, further improving effectiveness.

“What if I spill my wine?!”

City Marshal Giancarlo Gradic, circa 1545, displeased with color of the new uniforms.

 

 

AWARDS

ROLF’S TENDERFOOT - For the gentle of the guard, a medal and a bonus of 200 mina.  The Tenderfoot Medal is given to those who perform their duty without the use of unnecessary force.  To those which have a gentle touch, to those who would comfort, rather than harm. Named after Felsen Watchman Rolf, who caressed a maiden back into consciousness after she was hit in the back of the head.

 

DAVIS’ LIMP  -  For those injured in the line of duty, a medal and a bonus of 200 mina.  The Limp Medal is granted to those who with visible scars or those who were discharged due to their injuries.  Named after Felsen Watchman Limp Davis, who was rendered incapable for near a decade.

 

GILBERT’S IRON FIST - For those who willingly risk their skin, a medal and a bonus of 200 mina.  The Iron Fist medal is granted to those heavy handed guardsmen which place themselves in harm's way to uphold the law.  Given to those whose rash hand saved the life of innocents. Named after felsen Serjeant Gilbert, who was nearly mauled by a stray mutt after kicking it to defend a small noble child.

 

“Sometimes, when there’s a fork in the road, take it.”

Captain Volker Hound of Petrus, circa 1513, before declaring Petrus for the Schismatics.
