THE LUCIENSBURG CITY WATCH
As of the 11th of Owyn’s Light, 2A29
FERTE MANUS CERTAS
“Strike with a sure hand.”
The Luciensburg City Watch stands as the official enlisted defense organization in Luciensburg, being a more concerted entity than the citizens’ militia. The Watch is responsible for upholding the laws and prosperity of Luciensburg. What type of troubles the Watch faces will vary upon every day; but most common will be thieves, brigands and inhuman beasts. The Watch reports directly to the Burgomaster and City Council.
The Watch consists of free individuals who have enlisted for various reasons, but with the end goal of making Luciensburg and its surrounding lands safe and prosperous. All members of the Watch are paid for their hard work on a two-year basis ((two weeks)).
The Duties of the City Watch for the City of Saint Lucien shall be as follows:
- Maintain the peace, prosperity, and well-being of the Citizens of Luciensburg.
- Uphold the laws of the City within its walls.
- Patrol the city at regular intervals.
- Man the gate house at regular hours.
- Serve as the City’s Militia in times wherein the city itself is in danger, whether internally or externally.
- Else, the City Watch exists as a purely defensive entity within the walls.
HIERARCHY
CAPTAIN of the WATCH - The Captain is the head of the Watch, assuming most of the administrative duties of the organization which have not already been delegated, such as the promotion of newer officers. The Captain is additionally charged with the responsibility of defending Luciensburg from both from external and internal threats
DEPUTY of the WATCH - Second to the Captain, the Deputy is installed alongside the Captain; with their purpose being to assume the role of Captain in the absence of the Captain. Additionally, they are next-in-line should the Captain fall or otherwise leave his station.
WATCHMAN - Watchmen are the bread and butter of the City's defense force, and will comprise nearly the entirety of the City Watch. Watchmen are those who have received basic training and now are ready to patrol the streets of the City and defend her walls. Most younger Watchmen will be accompanied by another Watchman in a battle-buddy system.
RECRUIT - The recruits are the freshest the watch has to offer, often never having held a spear or sword in their life.
Note: Other ranks such as Lieutenant, Sergeant, and Citizen at Arms are also part of the hierarchy-- though will be filled only as needed and as the Watch acquires more members.
WHAT WE OFFER

- You will be recognized by merit and not by your blood status, allowing you to rise through the ranks as any other member of the gentry.
- You will be trained in how to defend yourself and combat the many threats you will face in the field.
