The Felsen Guard

[Old Man Boiendl 1454]

 

Sigil of the Imperial City of Felsen

 

The Felsen Guard 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 Guard 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.

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?!”

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.

 

 

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 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.
