Scarlet Helms

The Tyrian Guard doesn’t venture into the Noble District. Instead, the major noble families provide a small private army of watch officers. Called the Scarlet Helms after their distinctive red-dyed headwear of inix scales, this force maintains order in the streets and escorts nonresidents out of the district by nightfall. It keeps special watch on the borders where trade districts adjoin noble neighborhoods.

A Scarlet Helms squad consists of a leader (usually a human or mul gladiator) and several half-giant guards. A number of ex-gladiators have hired on with the Scarlet Helms in the weeks since Kalak died and the slaves were freed.
