Despite the name, Isarn's City Guard is hardly a bastion of authority or stability. Four decades of riots, regime changes, infrastructure collapse and general poverty make a guard's duty impossible to fulfill. Those caring souls that truly want to serve and protect their fellow citizens rarely survive the dangers of the job long enough to do so. The unscrupulous guards that survive often enforce city proclamations selectively, doing so only when the guards do not feel endangered. By law, they are servants of the Citizens, but in practice, they are a legalized street gang with the freedom to harass citizens for almost any reason they can dream of without fear of repercussion. The Isarn City Guard are headquartered out of Le Diamant, and only consistently protect La Rue de Pain and Vieille Ville.
