Periphery

The police force within the Fairelands is known as the Periphery. In the wake of The Last Great War, the Periphery inherited military technology incongruous withthe proclaimed goal of interfacing peacfully with Halen citizens. The Commissioner of the Periphery is appointed by the Premier, just as a region's judiciary is appointed by members of the Chamber. This means that hte justice system in this portion of Hale is created and enforced through the influence of politicians.

Coming out of The Last Great War, the Fairelands are gaining a reputation for having a violent, militarized police force -- a reality that many former soldiers who fought to protect civilians openly oppose. Officers in the Periphery have been known to overzealously police citizens and use almost any excuse to arrest and lock them away in jail cells around the city.

There is a growing resentment between those who fought in The Last Great War and the up-and-coming members of the Newfairen police force. This results in clashes with hte Periphery, who are known to prioritize protecting one another over protecting the citizens of Newfaire and the Fairelands region.

Notable Figures

• Gabriel Olivier (he/him): The Commissioner of the Periphery. He's held the position for a decade and has no plans to vacate, despite opposition.
• The Executioner (unknown): The mysterious, hooded figure who runs the gallows. Their identity is purposefully secret, though some Candela Obscura members have a hunch who they might be.
• Makaika Das (they/them): A veteran officer known to work closely with Candela Obscura members in times of need.

Notable Locations

• The Pit: One of the small jails used to hold scarlet drunks and those awaiting trial. Fairens who can afford to bribe the jailer can receive one visitation from a loved one.
• The Stonehold Outpost: The largest Periphery outpost in the Bridleborne Mountains. It is particularly well supplied with munitions to combat the scourge of redrunners.
• The Newfaire Morgue: The morgue used by the Periphery to showcase unclaimed bodies. Anyone in Newfaire can visit this viewing theater, and the spectacle of death ahs become more of a political tool than an effort of goodwill.
