Haven Guard

The Haven Guard serves the city of Haven first, the Duchess second, and the church of Abadar third. They work closely with the Duchess and High Priest of Abadar to maintain order in the city, acting most often as a police force.

Structure

Led by a Commandant, who is selected from among the senior officers of the guard, and reports directly to the Duchess.
Due to their ties with the Church of Abadar, the ruler cannot remove the Commandant without agreement from the high priest. Frequently, the high priest has additional input into the appointment of the commandant, making recommendations for or against candidates
By custom and charter amendment, the commandant can reject an order handed down by the Duchess. She may only do so if the order violates the laws of Haven or needlessly endangers the city’s civilians or military forces. In this case, the commandant must report her decision and reasoning to the high priest of Abadar within one day, who then decides on her fate. When such a process might interfere with the defense of the city, however, the commandant has up to a month to report to the high priest.
