Post Guard
Sleepy and winding, Eastgate is guarded by the Post Guard, which operates out of the fortified Postern Gate. Their motto, “And No Farther,” references the fact that their inner gate marks the farthest that a siege has ever penetrated Absalom’s walls. Given the recency of two such attacks and the relative dearth of crime within the residential district, the Post Guard prefers to focus their attention on bolstering the Postern Gate and nipping external threats in the bud. What crime does arise along Eastgate’s quiet avenues tends to be minor property crimes. In the Green Ridge neighborhood, vandalism has become increasingly common, largely as a result of rising tensions between druids—such as those of the Grand Holt and the Children of Spring cult—and city folk.
Rank in the Post Guard is many-layered, modeled closely on the First Guard. The honorable Lord Ayunga of House Akkesh and his Second Captains encourage the Post Guard to mop up all crimes as quickly as possible, but this approach sometimes results in cut corners and lax focus. The Post Guard gives its members three months’ leave each year, which the officers usually use for side jobs, such as adventuring or mercenary work, or education. With a few exceptions, each member of the Post Guard wears half-plate and carries a glaive and shortsword.
The First Guard and Muckruckers tend to look down on the Post Guard as trying too hard to prove themselves. Most other precincts respect the Post Guard’s dedication and the variety of skills they pick up relative to other district guards. The Starwatch is especially friendly with the Post Guard since members of the Starwatch pass through the Postern Gate on their way to and from Starwatch Keep.
