The Lancetide City Guard are responsible for keeping law and order in the city of Lancetide. The Captain of the Guard reports in to the Mayor and sits on the Lancetide Municipal Government.

Structure

The City Guard is loosely divided into military ranks. From least to most senior, these are:

  • Private: the initiate rank, required to work guard shifts throughout the city.
  • Sergeant: commands 5–10 Privates and presides over one of the city's many guard houses.
  • Lieutenant: oversees one of the districts of Lancetide (including the catacombs), meaning that there are 6 Lieutenants total. Each commands all of the Sergeants in their district.
  • Captain: commands the entire city guard.

As well as the ranks, there are several specialised divisions who protect Lancetide's interests:

  • The Judiciary Guard: these elite guards protect The Councillor for Justice and the rest of the judiciary, and are based in Duke Street Courthouse.
  • The Duke's Guard: these elite guards protect the duke and his family, patrolling his estate in the Castle District.
