The Guards of Bryntirion housed in the district of the black shield. These fearsome fighters were once a mercenary troupe hired by the Council of 5 (which was at the time the council of 4)who have evolved to become Bryntirion's guards. They patrol the streets in their uniforms: Clothing: steel Breastplate, cloth greaves, hobnailed boots, polearm/longbow sword/crossbow, hobnailed gloves, maroon cloak, defensive mask. The masks of the Watchers is said to be modelled after a Hawk God from the southlands, named Stormond. who is believed to have once taken the eye from a sun god that illuminates evil for him. Each member of the guard is expected to serve at least ten years in the town and a further 5 on patrol on the borders of the Bryn. Sufficed to say after this secondary patrol many find themselves actively seeking an early retirement. Those who remain however become stalwart defenders against the beasts that dwell in the Bryn. Instinct: To maintain Law and Order
