Iron Spikes

The dwarven population throughout western society has seen a steady incline ever since Virdwel's efforts of intercontinental expansion began. As a cooperative agreement between diplomatic unions, the House of Lords has been permitted to set foundations overseas so long as a foothold of law in western civil matters is allowed. Plainly said, Boldur's ranks of the Iron Spikes have been delegated as a primary security force within Virdwel in exchange for free liberty to settle along the Bastion Peninsula. Contrary to their name these law enforcers are donned in polished hauberks and plated joint guards; they carry no visible spikes aside from the insignia worn on their sleeves. Rather, the company is named after Boldur's time-honored infrastructure of railways.

Residents of the mountain province of Boldur are largely dwarven or halfling, and as such they are known to carry a proud history of tradition. This has translated to a strict list of policies enacted by the newly established force of order since the beginning of the fifth dawn era. Although the Iron Spikes generally work in better interest of the common citizen, their methods of contain, then investigate, are still not wholly accepted by the greater public. Individuals may be detained if they are a suspect or witness, or directly related to a persons therein, making short term incarcerations a commonality in the capitol of Khor.

The ranks of this order ascend as follows: initiate, officer, sergeant, captain, and chief. The process of promotion is based on both time and activity, hence one speculation on why immediate containment is so prominent within the order. In addition to controlling most jailhouses and supervising political affairs within Virdwelian cities these stalwart forces act as operators to checkpoints on the southern half of the continental highway.
