King's Citadel

The King's Citadel

Once the intelligence agency for the late Kingdom of Galifar, it now continues to serve the ir'Wynarn family as the intelligence agency of Breland. The King's Citadel is the highest law enforcement and paramilitary organization in Breland. In Sharn, they are called upon when a case is too big for the Watch to handle, especially if the case concerns espionage or national security. The Citadel directly serves Boranel ir'Wynarn through Boranel's younger brother Kor, who commands five captains for each of the five branches. The Citadel is explicitly a separate chain of command from the army, giving Boranel a much greater degree of control and discretion.  
The King's Swords
The King's Swords are a paramilitary group that executes public missions within and outside of Breland. They are led by half-elven Captain Ellanar.  
The King's Shields
The King's Shields are charged with ensuring the personal security of members of the government. They are led by human Captain Sortan.  
The King's Wands
The King's Wands provide magical support for the other branches of the Citadel. They are led by gnomish Captain Nebik.  
The King's Dark Lanterns
The Dark Lanterns serve the crown of Breland as the intelligence branch. They are led by the changeling Captain Vron. As the secret servants of the crown, members of the organization are granted the authority to conduct intelligence operations on foreign soil, execute covert missions across the globe, and prevent national secrets from falling into the hands of rival intelligence agencies. The Dark Lanterns also have the unwritten authority to eliminate any creature that threatens their nation, its sovereign, or its citizens. Once inducted into the Dark Lanterns, an agent is expected to serve until their death - While an agent may retire, the crown can recall them at any time.
