About the Troll's Bane Town Guard
Credo of the Town Guard of Troll's Bane:
- Firstly, a town guard should not follow his desire for a high rank or money, but for the safety of Troll's Bane,
Secondly, a town guard is subjected to his own conscience. Of course, a town guard has to follow the orders of the captain, but only if those orders don't act against the laws of Troll's Bane,
Thirdly, a town guard should always be there for his or her comrades. A strong comradeship will make the work easier and protect the town from outside influence,
Fouthly, a town guard should always be there for the town and its citizens, even if he is not on duty,
Fifthly, a town guard should honor the gods. Faith and believes are manifold, thus no certain deities shall be named here. Only the desire for protecting the town and its citizens from evil is desired.
For the gods, the town and the comrades!

2.) The Troll's Bane Town Guard will act within the borders of Troll's Bane and within the laws of Troll's Bane. The guard will be observed by the ruling Governor and/or the High Judge.
If you feel mistreated by a guard, don't panic! Don't use vigilante justice! Talk to the captain of the guard instead, or directly to the Governor or the High Judge.
3.) The Town Guard of Troll's Bane was founded to enforce the laws of Troll's Bane and to protect the citizens of Troll's Bane inside the borders of the town.
4.) In case of emergency or an investigation the citizens are told to obey the guards words. Hindering them in their duty or resisting their decisions is prohibited. Mind that the guards will be chosen considerate and know what they are doing. If you wish to participate in protecting the town and its citizens, you can apply for the post of a guard.
A direct attack on any of the guards results in a permanent ban!
5.) In general, the guards are told to wait for a trial before deciding upon the fate of a person. However, if the life of a citizen or the life of a guard is in direct danger, a criminal tries to escape or major rules of Troll's Bane are violated, the guard got certain options:
a.) A temporary ban may be imposed, to secure the town until the High Judge has spoken,
b.) The guards have the right to attack and even kill a criminal who tries to resist against a ban and poses a direct danger to the safety of town.
6.) The laws the guards upholds can be found on the walls of Troll's Bane: http://illarion.org/community/forums/vi ... 329#511329
