The Red Gloves
The Red Gloves—or as they’re more commonly
known “those corrupt brigands impersonating
Corbel’s city watch”—are loved by few. Even the
Domini conveniently maintain their own host of
guardians, known as the Custode Vigilante, fueling
gossip that the Gloves are more of a protectorate force,
whose loyalty rests with the Magistrates of the Splendid
Kingdoms more so than with any local authority.
That the Red Gloves suffered so singularly
when Florent took the city is a terrible irony.
Perhaps it was the one element of the invasion the
Domini benefited from, as their relationship with
the city guard is complicated at best. Now that the
Shahanshah’s troops firmly control the eastern side
of the city, the Gloves hunker down in the western
districts north of the Rook’s bastion, with the
Necropolis acting as a sort of neutral ground
between the two opposing forces.
