Guardia de La Noche

The Night Guard

~+~

Guardians and Santegians themselves, sirca 1639.

 

In the streets of San Adrian under the darkness of the night caution is an absolute necessity. There is no such thing as being moderately cautions. You are either as cautious as needed, or you are dead. You might be walking around and breathing, but you're dead, just the same. For the darkness of the night is a time where evil has the best potential of brewing. Or so it was thought. But now the wicked are rising even in broad daylight, so a constant state of awareness is required. For those who are unable to defend themselves, but seek the safety of a welcoming home, thoughtful nobles of Santegia formed a militia and gave it a name: "Guardia de La Noche", which stands for "The Night Guard".

 

Founders of the regiment are Prince Demetrios, Arch Chancellor of Santegia and Lady Ceona, the first Captain of the Force. Together they worked on the formation of a force that can work under the light of both the sun and the moon. A force that welcomes any living being. A force that protects a Sanctuary. That is the Night Guard.

 

 

Members of the Night Guard are in charge of the protection of the City. They are tasked with guard duty, patrols, merchandise and personnel transportation, and combat. They are equipped with whatever equipment is best suited to the individual among three categories: Infantry, Cavalry and Archery. At the same time, they are public workers, tasked with assisting the citizens. They must know the structure of the city to give directions, locations and popular attractions. They have access everywhere except a few restricted areas, so that they operate quickly and effectively.

 

Hierarchy

 

Guardia de La Noche, Guardia Noche for short, take their orders from the Lord Marshal and his Commanders, who are charged with the managing of all military bodies inside the Kingdom. Additionally, they can take orders from the Judicial body to arrest criminals and deal out punishments after trial. All members swear loyalty to the King. But there is still a hierarchy to be followed, for the better distribution of work and prevention of crime. The ranks are divided in three sections: Officers, Enlisted and Specialized Ranks.

Two officers of San Adrian guard force.

 

Officers

 

The officers are tasked with leading the men into battle, handling promotions, leading squads, monitoring progress making sure the Guard force operates effectively. There are two ranks: The Captain and the Sergeant.

 

Captain

 

The Captain is the leader of the Guard force, holding the final word in every situation, unless the High Command steps in. He is a capable leader, gives out the promotions and organizes task groups to handle missions. He is also responsible for the equipment of the military and must make sure supplies and provisions are always plenty. There is only one Captain.

 

Sergeants

 

The Sergeants are the Captain’s assistants. They are capable squad leaders, leading men to missions, suggest promotions, monitor the progress of members and hand out jobs. They are capable of ordering any member of the Guard force. The number of Sergeants is determined by the number of Guards.

 

Enlisted

 

The enlisted members are the normal Guards of the military. Their jobs per individual vary, but all are responsible with guard duty, patrols, accomplishing missions and defending the city. There are four ranks: Recruit, Footman, Man At Arms and Master At Arms.

 

Master At Arms

 

These Guards are the Veterans of the Order, men who have tasted the hardships of battle and time and have endured through it all. This rank is given to experienced members of the Guard Force who lack the necessary skills to become an Officer. However, in the absence of one, they are perfectly capable of assuming command over groups.

 

Man At Arms

 

These men are the skilled soldiers of the Force, always the first to charge into the fray. They have been in the force for many years, handling various tasks with the trust they have gained over their tenure. The Man At Arms is often the last rank a soldier can achieve in times of peace.

 

Footman

 

These guards form the Bulk of the Force. They handle the majority of work around the city from gate duty, to patrols, to handling directions. They have spend time in the Guard Force, but by no means are they experienced.

 

Recruit

 

This is the rank given to the newest members of the guard. They are young and inexperienced, so they need to be molded into shape quickly. Thus, they are treated slightly harsher than footmen, to quickly become accustomed to the life in the Guard. However, that is only temporary.
