Just finished a zoom-style mini-campaign of D&D with some friends! It was my first time in maybe forever as a player and it was fun! My player class was exactly what my username would suggest. In a medieval type setting I was all ready to declare "All Cityguards Are Bastards!" but it didn't come up.

From thence to the Coffeehouse, where I met Cpt Morrice, the upholster, who would fain have lent me a horse to-night to have rid with him upon the Cityguards, & the Lord Mayor, there being some new expectations of these rogues; but I refused by reason of my going out of town tomorrow. So home to bed

Lol, “shitquay.” You know a town's in rough shape when even the guards have a derogatory name for it.

Marcellus is the current Watchmaster of the Vara Starguard.
Usualy Cityguards in the empire are at best a glorified police and firefigthing force but Varas citizens are just.... build different.

If you see this, show your dark and nighttime art 🌙

Sound the alarms and warn the cityguards! It’s BREEDING TIME!!
