Silver Angels

The Silver Angels are one of the Dwarven Squads, part of their army. They are the police force of the Dwarves, mostly present in the Dwarven capital of Ironforge.  

Military Power

The Silver Angels are one of the largest Squads, and its people are specifically trained to keep the peace in Ironforge. Therefore they are rather strong in comparison to other Squads. They are likely the Squad that gets the most training, as the Dwarves take public safety very seriously. They are said to do this in part to spite the Elves, who find such an idea ridiculous.  

Command

Rotbrek by Jarhed
The Silver Angels are led by a General, who is their strongest member by far. He has plenty of experience, being in the police force for a few hundred years now. Yet it is not just experience, but harsh training and personal loss that shapes the man who stands atop the Silver Angels: General Rotbrek.   Rotbrek holds a secondary title as a General, being that of the Fallen Angel. He is an Earth Mage who is believed to have fallen from grace. He was once a great soldier, but in recency he has been seen as growing weak and complacent. Still, he stands against crime, corruption, and outside meddling in Dwarven affairs.   He wields a traditional axe of Silver Angels Generals, which features on either side of it blades that appear to be wings of an angel. An axe called the Wings of Vultar, named after one of Hadur's angels. Specifically, Vultar is known to be Hadur's greatest warrior. His strongest Angel, and therefore it is passed down to the warriors who fight for the Dwarves like Vultar does for the Dwarven God.

Ironforge

The capital city of the Dwarves, Ironforge is home to not just the Silver Angels, but at least two other Dwarven Squads. These being the Golden Automatons and the Orange Phoenixes. Some say the Black Boars Squad also resides in Ironforge, but no one knows for sure.  

HQ

The Silver Angels have various bases throughout Ironforge. There are bases all over the city where their soldiers are stationed so that they can respond to any emergency. They have scouting outposts atop the HQs, and each one can see the streets from their location to the next Silver Angels HQ. This way, they can call on rapid response teams to stop crimes or save people.   One of these HQs is shared by the Golden Automatons in Ironforge University. They serve there as campus police.   Their main HQ, however, is in the southern part of Ironforge. Here, the General normally lives, and their press folk write their newspapers and keep up with all crime reports.
Rotbrek did not consider himself worthy of this weapon for a long time. He refused it for much of his tenure. It was only after stopping an attempted assassination by Elves on the King, and thwarting their plan to destroy Ironforge itself, that he considered it. After losing many of his soldiers, he decided he would carry it for them. He views the weapon as a way to atone for his past, and to devote himself entirely to his faith and to his work.  

Manpower

The Silver Angels are one of the largest Squads, with around three thousand soldiers. They took a major hit during the Chief Crisis, as it is said that the Elf named Hadon attacked them and took out about a hundred of their best men. Yet Rotbrek survived to tell the tale, and has gained a hatred for Hadon alongside those affiliated with him: Shatt Gunn, Imvis, Ha Kyung, and Ogonn Ha.

Weaponry

The Silver Angels have weapons made by the Golden Automatons, a fellow Squad in Ironforge. However, their weapons are often of a lesser quality. This is due to a rivalry between the two Squads, often seen as petty. The Golden Automatons know the Silver Angels will beat them in combat exercises, so they try to handicap them in any way they can.  

Upkeep

The Silver Angels have an ungodly budget, having more money pumped into their Squad than any other government branch. The funding of every other Dwarven Squad combined does not equate to the amount of money spent on the Silver Angels. They may not have the greatest of weapons all the time, but they have some of the latest models of weapons, and even some of the most advanced armor types in the world, made for deflecting attacks of all kinds. Their Headquarters is also incredibly advanced, not to mention metal carriages made by the Golden Automatons to transport large groups of them without worrying about Fire Mages.  

Recruitment

The Silver Angels take part in the ceremony, where all Generals are present to see new recruits. These hopeful recruits show their skills off in hope of joining one of the Squads and helping protect their homeland.   What the Silver Angels look for here in recruitment is knowledge of the laws and a commitment to enforcing them. They quiz recruits on laws, choosing a new portion of the Dwarven Constitution every year so that they can keep people on their toes. Anyone who can get enough questions right, or at least has the spirit, is recruited into the Silver Angels.  

Duty

The Silver Angels enforce the laws of Dwarven Territory. They are the police force of Ironforge specifically, though some are sent out to help in other cities or villages.   They keep the streets clean, though some will say that there are many who are corrupt. They abuse the power they have over citizens, exploiting them for money or just simply a quick power trip. After all, even the slightest taste of power can make someone believe themselves high above everyone else. This is no different for the Silver Angels, as a matter of fact that almost comes with the title, as they are Angels and technically above the law.  

The True Dwarven Kingdom

The Silver Angels were part of the group that were not in Ironforge for the Grand Crowning. Still, they split off from the other Generals at the start of the Dwarven Civil War, and due to this, they founded their own nation, which controls a sizeable chunk of Dwarven Territory around Ironforge. This is a new Kingdom, as they claim. They seceeded from the Dwarven Kingdom of former Prime Minister Krankyl.   Instead, Rotbrek founded something known as the True Dwarven Kingdom. He sees himself as the only one who can lead, because he has experienced what it means and is willing to carry that burden. He sees Krankyl as a naive, inexperienced politician who does not know the struggles of the working class man or the soldier. Rotbrek, on the other hand, is a true Dwarf. That is why his Kingdom is the True Dwarven Kingdom.
