The Penoccidan Guard is part of the Shield Regiment of the Holy Empire of Acolytius, tasked with guarding the Province of Penoccida. The Marshal of the Province, Barthe Shadis, is in command of the Department.
Penoccida is known for being a quieter corner of the Empire, and the Penoccidan Guard do reflect this. Compared to other Provinces, the Guard are quite low in number and known for being somewhat lax in their duties. This isn't to say that Penoccida is unsafe, but more so that there isn't much crime for the Penoccidan Guard to handle. In fact, when there is crime, the guard force is very quick and efficient in their response. Most of the time, however, they spend their shifts looking over the busy ports of Penoccida, potentially deterring the rare criminal through their presence alone.
The Penoccidan Guard wear simple splint armor of steel, with teal surcoats that are embroidered with a scale-like pattern. The pattern is intended to mimic the scales of a fish, as fishing is Penoccida's biggest industry. Guards also wear helmets, being visorless and leaving the full face exposed. The royal guard, known as The Kingstide, are mainly denoted through their armor. They wear steel scale mail coated in silver, with the surcoat switching the pattern for the Province's crest. In addition, they have crests of horsehair that have been dyed teal.
