The Protectorate Ward

The Grail Knights

Bearing a lineage of Knighthood from The Aliech Kingdom, these are heavily trained and named individuals who bear the rank of nobility. Sworn as a protectorate of the land and its people, the Grail Knights bear the insignia of the Aliech Kingdom wherever their go, proudly indicating them on their coat of arms. They presently primarily remain in the Protectorate Ward. Many of their weapons are decorated in Brail and can carry messages, a unique language that only the Grail Knights know of. Additionally, their rites of passage are written in golden scripture donned upon their cloaks and armor. If a knight were to falter in battle, it serves as a tool to identify them after death so that they may be honored in the Gravesend Monument. Trained in the operations of city defense and regulation, they often train others in their time when they are stationed at Whiterock. As the primary line of defense of the Royalty and Nobility in the Central Section, they direct orders from Central to other guards within the Upper and Lower Districts. In terms of hierarchy, they are considered the top sentries within the region. In their service are various other knights and guards from other factions. In addition, they personally train their pedigree to become a squire in their stead for the coming future, or a person that is deserving of the title.

The Town Guard

Although, many if not all have not seen true combat yet on the scale of war. With a modern education that grants individuals fundamental abilities to read, write, and do basic arithmetics, these guardsmen have higher standards than their contemporary counterparts. Presently, many facilities made to train, house, and feed these guardsmen are in the Protectorate Ward. The region also serves as a place of storage for many of the various military organizations under Grehearth's command. They are armed with Non-lethal weapons to disrupt and protect individuals in the various wards. However, many are trained to utilize lethal weapons if need be as they are given the training to utilize martial weapons. On occasion, some guardsmen/women may possess the ability to use more unique types of equipment. Some examples of the equipment they may possess various depending on the individual group that they are in. EX: Some are given experimental weapons, others may be given Steam Muskets or even magical gear on rare occasions. Separated into various numbers, Guards which bear a closer number to 1 from 100 are known to be the elites of Grehearth's guardsmen/women. Bearing the finest gear that the guards have to offer, many are bestowed upon Steampunk weaponry befitting of their expertise. Unlike the Grail Knights that continue to utilize their ideal loadout similar to what a regular knight does, the guards find themselves in an era where their might may even rival or surpass the Grails Knights one day, rendering them obsolete.
