Stormwind City Sentry
'Honest work for honest pay.'
'His Majesty’s Cudgel, at your service. What’s the problem, then? Come on, spit it out.'
'Careful, that be Sergeant Smith, he'll flay you alive for stealing an apple! RUN!'
'Just keep your nose clean and you’ll do well. With the war over - Light, what’s there to worry about? We’re sitting pretty, chasing two-bit crooks for our bread and wine until we’re old and done. The simple life, eh.'The Third City Sentry Company, known informally as 'His Majesty's Cudgel' or sometimes even shortened to 'King's Cudgel', is a section of sentrymen and patrollers usually based in the city of Stormwind and the surrounding farmland, woodland, and terrain. They're known to be vigilant and stalwart, willing to run across the kingdom to see a crook behind the bars of the Stockades, furthermore they've known to have been deployed further than Stormwind as of recent due to shortages in the military, the most notable of these places being the Swamp of Sorrows, Stranglethorn, and Northrend.
History
The Founding
Formed sometime after the fourth war by Sir Jespyr Elmont (A commander of the Alliance) as a new sentry company inside the Kingdom of Stormwind; also be chaired and led by Commander Jespyr. Its pool of sentrymen being made up of veterans of the recent wars of Azeroth, but also the young willing recruit, seeking to make a living out of himself rather than turning to the shady underworld of crime. Soon after the formation of the sentrymen, Sergeant Dryden, a veteran of the streets of Stormwind and a veteran of recent wars was promoted to lead 'His Majesty's Cudgel' on the field of battle, and soon enough they would be deployed into the jungle of Stranglethorn. A few months ago swathe of undead trolls threatened the safety of the Kingdom of Stormwind, and a brigade of soldiers, including the 'Concordat', marched into the jungle where many dangers lie in wait, including the Loyalists of the Banshee Queen, the vicious Horde, and the threat itself, trolls. The Alliance and Horde for the most part worked together, although several skirmishes broke out between the two forces, most notably involved was the Concordat. Eventually, however, they had a breakthrough within the Gurubashi City of Zul'Gurub and slew the threat of a twisted and foul loa. Not long after however, they faced another threat. The frozen ice of Northrend. Deployed northbound by Sir Jespyr Elmost and a junior officer, Sir Colin Pendoogle, the Third soon found themselves outmatched, however, they soon formed a strong bond with a group of Kul Tirans, they battled the loyalist threat and even fought off an undead remnant of the Scarlet Crusade. Soon enough, they returned home, suffering only one casualty. Upon returning home, the Third found themselves dealing with an ever-increasing Defias threat, in which they'd already killed a Corporal of the King's Cudgel.

WANTED
- Seishan Targon - When Corporal Seishan Targon delved deeper into devotion for the Light, his thoughts started to warp as he began to loathe the presence of non-believers around him.

- Tintin - The Sentries came to cross paths with the criminal known only as Tintin. The leader of The Blood Spades, a gang operating in weapon dealings, extortion, and infiltration within the Eastern Kingdoms. When bodies began to appear around Stormwind, marked with a singular spade it spiraled into a cat and mouse chase of the gang. In the end, the Spades suffered defeat at the hands of the sentries. But the losses they faced would be paramount as some of their own members had been exposed as infiltrators, alongside the lives of sentries that the Blood Spades and Tintin claimed.
