Formerly known as Mulmaster Yard until its latest destruction in 1494, Hawthorne Yard is the headquarters of the Hawthorne Watch and the Hawthorne Town Guard. This large building includes watch offices, garrisons, a large common room and the cells. Though the Town Guard and the Watch are two distinct groups, they are both headed by the same individual, Watch Commander Ophelia D'Vespere.
Prior to being rebuilt in Hawthorne after the Attack of the Dawn Titan, the watch headquarters went by the name of Mulmaster Yard and were the site of a terrorist attack, when a rogue gnoll detonated a bag of bombs in the common room. This event was called Gnoll/11 by the community.
