City Watch
| City Watch | |
|---|---|
| Type: | Civil law enforcement |
| Leader: | Captain-General of Greyhawk |
| Symbol: | City coat of arms |
| Headquarters: | Grand Citadel, City of Greyhawk |
The City Watch is responsible for law enforcement within the City of Greyhawk.[1] There are members of the Watch stationed in some other settlements in the Domain of Greyhawk,[2] but only rarely does the Watch act outside the city or settlement. The Greyhawk Militia is the military force of the Domain, and does not act inside the city "except in the case of a major public disturbance or extemaJ assault: maintenance of law and order is done by the City Watch."[1]
Description
The City Watch has as its headquarters the Grand Citadel, but there are also Watch Houses in all quarters of the city except for the Slum Quarter. The supreme command of the Watch is in the hands of the Captain-General of the Watch[1] who also has a seat in the Directing Oligarchy.
History
Activity
"The City Watch almost never goes into Shack Town, less out of fear of the inhabitants than complete disregard for their condition and any crimes committed here."[3]
"Every gate has at least two Watch patrols, one standard patrol stationed in the gate house itself while the others guard the gate passage and surroundings."[4]
Some City Watchmen work undercover.[5]
Members
"The City Watch and Nightwatchmcn’s Guild, [are] both filled with followers of St. Cuthbert."[6]
Organization
The City Watch is organized by rank, with the Chief Constable as serior-most, though the Captain-General technically also commands the city's defenses.
- Chief Constable
- Deputy Constable
- Captain[7][8]
- Lieutenant[8]
- Sergeant-at-arms
- Junior Sergeant
- Watchmen (men-at-arms)
Watchmen are always encountered in patrol groups and never solitary. The Watch is 800-some strong[9][10] and the watchmen are given support by mages from the Guild of Wizardry and priests from local temples.[9][10]
