You spot the captain—armor polished but scarred, cloak crisp and crimson, helm trimmed with brass. A scar splits his lip; his gauntlet taps a baton against one palm, boots planted like iron stakes.
Street Guard Captains oversee city districts, manage patrol shifts, and coordinate responses to larger threats like riots or fugitives. They're seasoned veterans, often with military backgrounds, and carry authority to enforce curfews, issue warrants, and deputize civilians. Recognized by distinctive cloaks, engraved badges, and the respect—or fear—of their subordinates.
Street Guards are the most common and visible law enforcers in towns and cities. Recruited from the local population or nearby villages, they form the backbone of public order—walking the streets, breaking up fights, chasing thieves, and keeping an eye on suspicious folk. They're not elite soldiers, but they know the streets better than anyone.
