The Guard

A purposeful misnaming, most in the Empire believe that these men are simply an elite part of the city guard forces. In actuality, this is the secret army of the Empire. Filled with spies and assassin stationed both inside the palace and out in the empire. These men and women act as the eyes and ears of the Emperor and, when needs must, his blade. They are trained within the church of the Great Darkness and given equipment called service weapons. These weapons are versatile magical items that can change into different forms. The most common these being a dagger, light hammer, javelin, or pry bar and can also act as thieves’ tools and identifier of the Guard. For those who know the Guard's true purpose these service weapons, and the ability to use them, are the only identifier that they have.
