The Martial District

Located in the south eastern corner of Amaranthine is the Martial district, home to the Gatehouse and the headquarters of the City Watch.

Government

Being the judge for the martial district, many would assume, is the most posh position to hold as the City Watch’s presence in the area is absolute and crime virtually non-existent. One could not be more wrong. Whenever an arrest is made, a crime prevented, a criminal killed in the attempt to arrest them this all require paperwork that has to be completed and file and signed by the Judge. And in the district that has the heaviest city watch presence in the city, one can imagine there is a lot of paperwork to be done. Still, Bam Bemev, the bookish human who currently holds the position has had zero issues keeping up with the mountains of paperwork. Rumor has it that in his youth he studied the arcane arts at one of the Conclave Towers, and that perhaps that it what makes him so adept at keeping up with so much work. But nobody knows for sure.

Defences

Imposing name notwithstanding, the Gatehouse is actually little more than a barracks and training facility for the City Watch. That said, the building was constructed with defense in mind. Stone walls two feet thick and narrow windows prohibiting entry are cleverly hidden behind the beautifully carved facade of the building at large.

Assets

As one of the least crowded districts visitors find not only wide streets, but parks and even a vineyard. That said, those who intend to break the law should steer clear of the district, as its close proximity to young and zealous watch members in training has lead to more than one issue of police brutality. Aside from that, some of the finest blacksmiths in the world can be found in the Martial district as master smiths come from across the world for the lucrative contracts provided by the city watch.

Guilds and Factions

The martial district is home to the City Watch, while they operate throughout the city there presence is most greatly felt here.

History

The Martial district is centralized around the Royal Hospital for the Invalids. The hospital originally was constructed to serve as a medical facility and shelter for the disenfranchised former members of the city watch. However, nearly a century ago, the building was wholly converted into a training academy and barracks for the city watch.
