The Verdun is also known as The Shield. The Guardians and safe keepers of the citizens of the Empire. They have jurisdiction in the major towns and cities regarding the safety of the citizens. Their power, however, does not extend to a Noble with the title of Jarl or higher. A Verdun can arrest a Noble under Jarl( Unless they are a wizard of a spell caster, that is the purview of the Ori’Kai) with enough evidence, but they cannot jail them. Only put them under house arrest. Only the High Jarl or Jarl can stand in Judgment of one of the Nobility.
The Verdun are known as the Shields or Stone Cloaks amongst the common folk and criminals. They are called stone cloaks because of the granite gray coats the Verdun wear. They also wear grey leather cap helmets. Their coats are made of water-resistant and thick leather. It functions as leather armor. They carry iron shod clubs, manacles, and one alarm rod, and a pouch of glitter dust. They often patrolled in groups of three. On their helms, there is a tin badge in the shape of a round shield with the symbol of the High Jarl or Jarl of the city plus a draconic symbol of the city district of their Dun’Zu(City Guard headquarters aka the C.G.H)
Harlow has 1 for each district, which is around 11. They also have a main headquarters Dun'zu, known as the High Dun'zu.
