San Luciano Watch

[_Bueno_ 492]

SAN LUCIANO WATCH

Sigil of the Serene City of San Luciano

 

The San Luciano Watch stands firm defending and watching over  the Serene City of San Luciano and it’s crownlands  from brigands, thieves, beasts, and scoundrels.  An organization where birth matters not, and merit accounts for all.  The San Luciano Watch is unlike a formal levy, as they mainly keep the peace within the city, protecting the gentle citizenry.  The Watchmen of San Luciano 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.
