The primary law enforcement arm of the Human Empire ruled by The Crown. As a hired and trained paramilitary gendarmarie, they are sent throughout each major city in order to keep the peace, while also acting as a national secret police.
The standard uniform and equipment of the Crownsguard consists of vermilion or maroon robes, bronze scale mail breast and arm plates, a shield, greaves, a helmet, a crossbow, and a basic longsword.
Organization
Lawmasters
Lawmasters are magistrates that act as the local leadership for each town and city. Acting as both mayor and judge, they speak with the authority of The Crown and each one is instated directly from Castale. It is customary to bow to the lawmaster.
Richter
The position of Richter serves a function similar to that of an associate judge to the lawmaster. Whereas the lawmaster dictates only high profile judgments, a richter would see most lower cases first, and gauge whether they were important enough to be decided by the lawmaster. The most senior richter in a town or city is known as the "high richter", and commands more prestige than the other richters in the area.
Watchmasters
Watchmasters act as the captains of local Crownsguard forces. Each watchmaster answers directly to their local lawmaster.
