About the Guard

THE Guard are the backbone of the guild, making up the majority of its members. A well-trained army renowned for their service to the Crown, they provide reassurance to all Britannians that law and order will be upheld and peace maintained.

Being a Guard

WHAT I'd like to see is LB become more fanatical in both its loyalty to Britannia (i.e., hate Vesper more) and very extreme in their beliefs in the virtues. I don't mean being loving and compassionate in the traditional sense, I mean thinking it's compassionate to execute people because they don't follow the virtues, as there lives are meaningless without it.

- Cardinal Moses

BEING Guard has two central aspects: being a part of a united Loyalist force, dedicated to the service of the Baron and Britannia, and being an individual who will be memorable as a specific person to those you interact with.

AS a Guard you will swear an Oath to protect and serve, and this is something all Guards are expected to hold as their fundamental values. Guards uphold the Virtues as they believe them to be - your Guard's personal understanding of the Virtues may well determine his actions.

AS an individual, try to create a character who is fun to play and interesting to interact with. The simplest way to create interest is often to create a character who has a striking weakness that drives him: an alcoholic, someone with a short temper, a gambler… anything that would create conflict with your duties may be a good starting point. Play your Guard as something more than a stoic law enforcer and you will find a lot of interesting opportunities arise.

Duties

AS a professional army, the Britannia Guards serve law and order throughout the lands. Presently most active in Trinsic, The City of Honour, supporting the Dutchy Guards in keeping the city streets free of rebels and troublemakers.

  • Serving the Baron and his court.
  • Enforcing Trinsic Law as necessary.
  • Completing the quests and tasks put out by the Guard Command.
  • Making reports of any striking incidents to a commanding Officer.
  • Patrol West Trinsic to ensure the keeping of the peace.
  • Extending patrols on request of Command Members when required in the interests of preserving law and order.
  • Participating in regular training sessions to sharpen your skills and instruct others.
  • Supporting our allies provided their actions remain lawful.

FOR specific duties, you can speak with your superiors as you see them. However, to impress and earn your promotions, innovation and dedication will serve you best.

Applying to Join

BEFORE you make the decision that the Guard is for you, we would recommend that you take the time to talk to some members in-game and perhaps over ICQ to answer any questions you may have. You will also need to familiarise yourself with the CoRE RoE which must be followed at all times.

YOU may join the Guard with a new or an existing character - please note that your existing character must follow our ruleset with regards to having positive karma, a suitable name, not being of a typically 'evil' race and having permitted skills.

IF you meet these criteria, address one of our officers in-game and ask to be enlisted. After you have completed a trial, they will add you to the LB stone. We encourage you to start writing your character history, or a small introduction post on our In-Character board once you are in the guild.
