THE EDICT OF ARMS

[Zaerie 3747]

– the EDICT of ARMS –

– the CITY WATCH of VALLAGNE –

 

Issued and averred by

Her Majesty

in the year of our Lord 1949

As the needs of the Petra change, so do its institutions. It has become apparent that a full army fits outside the confines of the Commonwealth. For too long has the Riverguard gone through varying stages of decay and disrepair, and it has become obvious that this version of an army or guard must be abandoned to try different structures. Therefore, the Riverguard shall be disbanded, and replaced with a simplified Vallagne City Watch. With this replacement, many changes will come. The Watch aims to be a much more laid-back institution with the simple tasks of protecting the city of Vallagne and the citizens of the Commonwealth.

 

All of the current members of the Riverguard shall be transferred to Guards of the City Watch. The Commander of the Watch has chosen three among the Riverguard to assist him as Officers of the Watch, Cypress, Ferdinand Eryl, and Xavier Adiler.

 

May the City Watch of Vallagne succeed in their tasks, and uphold the integrity of the Commonwealth.

THE RANKS OF THE CITY WATCH

THE WATCH COMMANDER

The Commander of the Watch, previously known as the Generale, shall be in full command over the Watch and the safety of Vallagne. They are to oversee the Watch, ensuring that all runs smoothly in regards to the operation of the force. The Watch Commander answers above to the Garmont Throne, and is to inform the crown regarding matters of the watch, safety to the city, and of anything of concern. 

 

Officer

Officers within the Watch will hold the power to arrest and deal with clear-cut crimes. They shall be leaders alongside the Commander and shall run training and recruit new members to the watch. They are experienced men and women of the Watch, often veterans of the River Guard who have served for a long period of time. They are the primary medium by which the day to day affairs of the Watch occur.

 

Guard

A guard of the city watch is the main force protecting Vallagne. They are expected to be at the ready in emergencies and to stand guard at different events in uniform when requested. The majority of the Watch shall retain this rank, acting the primary force within the city of Vallagne. 

 

Recruit

The recruits of the Watch are expected to do their best to assist the Watch and learn as much as they can until they are confirmed as a full member of the City Watch. Those of this rank are often newcomers to the Watch; craftsmen, artisans, townsfolk and otherwise interested denizens  who have a desire to aid the Commonwealth in a military capacity.

 

PAYMENT

Changing from the previous system, the Watch shall now be paid a salary for every Saint’s Week that they are active in the affairs of the Watch. For each Saint’s Week a Recruit or Guard of the Watch actively participates within the affairs of the city, be it through events, training or maintenance of order, they shall receive a stipend of ten mina. Officers shall receive fifteen mina, for aforementioned services rendered per Saint’s Week. In the case of lackluster performance, deemed such by an officer or member of the Chanzlé, pay may be withheld. 

Her Majesty, CATHERINE I, Queen of the Commonwealth of the Petra

 

His Excellency, Sir Konstantin von Theonus, Guardian of the Commonwealth, Knight of the Petrine Laurel, Hero of Faubourg

His Excellency, Pharon Adiler, Generale of the Commonwealth of the Petra

Prince Paul Alexander of the Petra nodded his head in a neutral manner as he overlooked the missive,

"C'est la vie, ami." responded he simply towards nobody particularly, enabled then to take a seat in his study to look over various River Court documents. He sent the missive towards a Courtier to take upstairs to the parallel Royal apartment that his mother the Queen-Emeritus Renilde I resided in.

“How delightful, a City watch.” Hums the newest Petran Squire, Marius Lovetts

"Haha, woah." Renilde said from recliner, enjoying a delightful baked good made together with her darling granddaughter and Uncle Konny as they told her about the changes they'd sought to make earlier in the day.

I think its against the forum rules to reserve. I got warned for it a couple times

 

Ferdinand peers over the paragraphs once again, satisfied with the fitting changes.
"What high prudence Her Majesty shows already." -+- "Gott bless zhe Petra."

Putting the paper into one shelf of his bookcase, he takes a fresh, blank paper from the stack of them at the bookcase's top surface, and laid it across his workspace. A few taps of his quill against his chin, and then writings commenced. Joining it together with a heavily be-noted paper, he rushed off to present the project to the Regency council immediately.

Siriky looks at the thing, reading it, thinking a bit. "Seems they forgot to add something here that is missing. Hm... maybe it's time I hosted some mining party or so."

Pelym-Vagil Rivers looks at the missive and sigh "Well.. ea guess ve 3 page part about ve Riverguard is useless now in mea document - but ea do support making ve military ag guard separate entities, it always felt like voluntary work anyway.." he taps his chin "Maybe we will get paid for our service this time?" he says with a hopeful tone in his voice - his back hurting from working in the mines. His eyes then glance over the names and.. "WAIT FERDINARD ERYL AG XAVIER ADILER!? AUWN OF THEM JUST PROMOTED FROM RECRUIT AG VE OTHER'S BEEN HIDING IN HIS CASTLE FOR 10 YEARS!" Soon, his quill flies again on parchment - more corruption within Petra!

Adrian Godfrey Moere de Resmore glared over the missive, reading it over a few times before wondering how a unanimous vote for impeachment ended in the Riverguard getting dissolved and replaced by a City Watch. Either way, the Orateur shrugged before continuing on with his day.
