Greycoats

Greycoats are a law-enforcement and military organization responsible for the security of the capital city of the Republic of Ilia.
== Organization ==
The Greycoats are a strong, formally trained and well-equipped force of guards under the direct authority of the Council of Eight. Their salary is paid by the Republic as a whole, and was intended to double as a defense force in the event that the city is attacked, though, prior to the second leontini war a major attack on the city of Ilia had not occurred in generations. Their salary is paid by the Republic as a whole and unlike many of the republic's other institutions they do not swear fealty to any members of the Council of Eight. The men of the City Watch are trained more for keeping the peace rather than battle, as was shown during the Summer carnival raid. The Greycoats promotes by merit, one of the few institutions in Aranor. not to recognize the status of birth. The leader of the Greycoats is referred to as the Lord-sheriff.
