Guild:The M'Chekian Guards

Who are the Guards?

The M'Chekian Guards are the law enforcers in M'Chek, but they also conduct Special Operations for the Government. They answer directly to Lady Finmaegen and the Joint Houses of M'Chek.

Bringing criminals to justice, charming the local maidens, and keeping the Nation of M'Chek safe from various threats is all in a days work for a Guard. Anyone can try to join the M'Chekian Guards, and if their attitude, actions and behaviour is deemed fit by one of the Senior Officers, they are issued a uniform and given a limited juristiction as a Guard in Training. The Guards can be contacted by leaving a note for one of the senior officers, either at Finmaegen Keep or the prison in Mikona.

Guards are generally given some leeway when it comes to how they enforce the Law, though if a Guard behaves in an unacceptable manner he should not expect to remain a Guard for long. There is a strickt hierarchy of rank, but also excellent oppertunities for advancement.

This ain't the Army, so those only looking for some good ol' CvC would probably find themselves disappointed. Guards are required to swear allegiance to the Nation, the M'Chekian Guards and the Commanding Officer when finishing their training period and becoming full Guards. Hence, this should be an acceptable thing for your PC to do.

Hopefully, the diversity of the Guard PCs should ensure great fun, both within the Guards and when interacting with other PCs.

A brief history of the Guards

When the war was drawing to an end, Dala Wennen, the commander of the Alpha Corps, saw the need for a new police unit to keep the peace in M'Chek. Pending approval from the central command, Wennen created the M'Chekian Guards first as a subsection of the Alpha Corps, headed by Lieutenant Magnus Khan. The Guards were given control over the defensive operations in M'Chek, something that previously had been assigned to the department of Combat Operations.

Before long offical word came from the central command that Wennens plans had been approved. As a reward for years of service and bloodshed for the their country, those in the Alpha Corps that were willing to join the Guards were automatically enrolled once the war was over, they were also allowed to keep a rank equivalent to the one they had in the Alpha Corps. General Marcus Deth, newly appointed Lord after his success in the field made the announcement.

A new organization has been born today: the M'Chekian Guards. Formed with members of elite units of our army such as the distinguished Alpha Corps and the Special Forces, the main purpose of the M'Chekian Guards will be to enforce the law in our great nation, sharing jurisdiction with the Sword of Toran in Mikona and working on their own in the rest of the country. This elite unit will be under control of the Joint Houses. All hail the M'Chekian Guards, defenders of the land! Lord Deth The Sorcsword of M'Chek

After a period of structural changes in the senior staff, Jared Evershield eventually rose to the role of Lord Provost, the leader of the M'Chekian Guards. Spit, who had been Lord Provost just before stepped down to the executive position of Provost Marshall. Dala Wennen left the Guards to assume her newly appointed seat in the Common House of Goverment.

In the recent years, Lady Emilia Finmaegen has taken up the role as the Joint Houses liason to the Guards.
