Citysguard of Wretinridge
The Citysguard of Wretinridge serves as the primary military and law enforcement body within Wretinridge. Tasked with maintaining order, enforcing laws, and defending the city from threats, external or internal, they are essential to the safety and stability of the populace.
Recent Upheaval
Recently, the Citysguard faced a significant scandal when the former leadership team was discovered to be deeply corrupt. High-ranking officers were found guilty of accepting bribes, colluding with criminal organizations, and abusing their power for personal gain. This led to their arrest and execution, shaking public trust in the institution meant to protect them.
New Leadership
In the aftermath, a new, younger leadership team was appointed. Determined to restore honor and integrity, they are committed to operating strictly within the law and have zero tolerance for corruption. They've implemented stringent measures to prevent misconduct and are actively working to rebuild the Citysguard's reputation.
Sructure and Divisions
The Citysguard is organized into several key divisions:
City Watch: These guards patrol the streets, marketplaces, and residential areas, addressing minor offenses and ensuring daily peace.
Gatekeepers: Stationed at the city gates, they monitor those entering and leaving Wretinridge, preventing the passage of unwelcome visitors and contraband.
Wall Sentinels: Responsible for manning the city walls and towers, they keep watch for external threats such as bandits or invading forces.
Investigators: A specialized unit tasked with uncovering criminal activities. They work to dismantle illicit operations in Wretinridge and root out corruption within their own ranks.
The Vanguard: An elite force prepared to respond swiftly to major threats, including riots, large-scale attacks, or emergencies requiring advanced combat skills.
Equipment and Uniform
Members of the Citysguard are equipped with chainmail armor and tabards adorned with the city's emblem—a silver anvil and a blue Wretin silhouette. They wear rounded steel kettle helms whose defining feature is a central raised point or spike atop the crown, which helps deflect strikes, and they carry standard-issue swords and spears - with ribbons tied to the spearpoints (an homage to the banners of Banner Way.) Some carry shields slung over their backs, while others have shoulder-slung crossbows. Higher-ranking officers are permitted to bear specialized weaponry. Uniforms are designed for both protection and mobility, suitable for the varied terrains of the city and its surroundings.
Commitment to Justice
Under the new leadership, the Citysguard has rededicated itself to the principles of justice and service. They actively engage with the community to restore faith in their duties, holding public forums and being transparent about their operations. Their renewed commitment aims to ensure the Citysguard remains a pillar of safety and integrity in Wretinridge.
