You see plate dulled by ash and prayer, a red-crossed cloak draped over broad shoulders. His shield bears dents like sermon marks, and the mace in his fist gleams faintly, edge-crusted with dried consecration.
Iron Guard Clerics serve as battlefield medics and spiritual enforcers, wielding maces and shields alongside healing rites and warding prayers. They accompany patrols during plagues, executions, and riots, offering blessings or last rites as needed. Trained in both martial and divine doctrine, they answer to both captains and chaplains.
Iron Guards are the hardened backbone of city defense—better trained, better equipped, and far more disciplined than common street guards. Stationed at gates, key intersections, and garrisons, they respond to riots, suppress organized crime, and serve as elite enforcers of local law.
They wear matching uniforms reinforced with chain or scale beneath dark gray surcoats, each marked with the sigil of the city or Iron Guard insignia. Their presence is deliberate and unyielding—boots like anvils, eyes always scanning.
Respected and feared. Iron Guards are known for their discipline, ruthlessness in combat, and lack of tolerance for corruption. While some see them as protectors of peace, others call them “Iron Dogs”—unyielding and cold, more loyal to order than to justice.
