The Compass
You make your way down Hyde Road, and enter The Compass a shabby brick fort with a decently built orange tiled roof. The Compass is known for a large broken stone statue which is displayed by the foyer. It is kept there for its historical and cultural significance.
It is run by The Izalona Fist, who are consummate professionals. At the moment, a noble is arguing about some fine which was levied against them- they clearly don't think that it's fair.
Izalona is policed by The Compass, rather than a separate guard. The guard is funded and armed according to the town budget. Their officers are held accountable for their actions. One can recognise a member of The Compass by their distinctive headgear.
Law in Izalona is very much punitive based, and those that breach the laws can expect hard labour, incarceration, or sometimes public execution. Crime is an ugly stain on humanity, to be punished.
The person in charge is Theren Berevan, a weathered male elf. This office seems almost awkwardly large, as the vast majority of the space is not used. Most of the rooms are currently empty, and are filled with dust. There is a reasonably large writing desk of poor make in one of the rooms. The desk is covered in books, loose papers, and a few writing tools. There is also an armoury, but it contains only a few wooden clubs and quarterstaffs.
The guardhouse is apparently a crime scene in itself, with blood stains everywhere. The cells must be unimaginably bad.
