The Conch Order
Alani's primary force
The Conch Order is a prestigious and highly disciplined law enforcement force dedicated to upholding justice and maintaining law and order in the Alani Province. Comprised of elite Conch Knights, they are skilled and valorous warriors equipped with state-of-the-art weaponry and armor. Led by a revered Grand Mariner, the Order operates from the various different barracks and bases strategically located throughout the Alani lands and shores. They are known for their strict adherence to a code of ethics, unwavering loyalty to the Alani Province, and their commitment to fostering a positive relationship with the community.

Assets
The Conch Order is primarily a naval organization with their primary mode of transportation being boats or swimming. This even bleeds into their building with barracks and towers being positioned anywhere from deep within the mainland to standing in the sea. Because The Conch Order is primarily a naval organization most of their weapons consist of tridents and harpoons with some even using nets to catch fleeing targets.
History
The people of Alani, lived a simple yet harmonious life, deeply connected to the land and its bountiful blessings. Generations passed, and Alani flourished under the gentle guidance of their elders, who revered the wisdom of the ancient spirits that watched over the village.
However, peace would not last forever. The tranquility of Alani was shattered when a horde of malicious goblins, driven by greed and envy, descended upon the village, seeking to claim its fertile lands and resources for their own wicked purposes. The Verdan bravely stood their ground, but they were outnumbered and at the brink of defeat.
In their darkest hour, an extraordinary sight unfolded. Emerging from the nearby seas came a wondrous race of humanoid fish people known as the Triton. Their shimmering scales glinted in the sunlight as they gracefully swam ashore, their tridents held high in defiance of the goblin invaders. With voices that resonated like the soothing melody of ocean waves, the Triton called upon the water's power, summoning a torrential storm that engulfed the goblin horde. With the Triton's aid, the Verdan routed the invaders and secured their beloved village once more.
Filled with gratitude, the Verdan gathered before the Triton, offering their heartfelt appreciation for the salvation. In return, the Triton smiled kindly upon them and proposed a pact—a treaty that would forever seal the bond between the Verdan and the guardians of the sea. Thus, the Treaty of Alani was forged, etching the Triton's protection and alliance into the village's history.
The treaty declared that the Triton, along with their kin from the depths, would become the eternal guardians of Alani. In times of peril, they would lend their might to protect the Verdan and their home. The Triton pledged to safeguard the village, its people, and its surrounding lands, for as long as the Verdan upheld the values of harmony and respect for nature.
As part of the treaty, the Verdan would share their knowledge of the land's abundance, teaching the Triton the secrets of the earth, while also promising not to exploit the ocean's treasures beyond what was essential for their peaceful existence. It was an agreement built on trust and mutual respect between two unique civilizations, bound by a shared commitment to preserve their way of life.
Through the generations that followed, the bond between the Verdan and the Triton endured, the Trition formed an official government and became a protected province. The Alani government was the first to be developed by the Trition, but the second was The Conch Order to keep the people safe and in order. With Alani now being an official province everyone knows the trouble of government is just now beginning.
