Iron Enforcers

The **Iron Enforcers** is the major guild that governs Silver City and the West Astrean Sea.

The current guildmaster of the Iron Enforcers is Sierra Cynderspade.

The guild's former guildmaster was Austera the Bisharp. (retired)

## Appearance

The entrance to the Iron Enforcers headquarters resembles the helmet of a Pawniard; a round, dome-like entrance with the faceguards posing as the front entrance, marked by a skyward pointing blade placed on the roof. This is where visitors are screened by a Pokemon capable of facial recognition and check-in, for security reasons. (For example, the current Metang receptionist.)

From there, there are a network of halls that connect various rooms, such as executive offices, Lost and Found, and the Battle Dome.

* Lost and Found is where misplaced items are kept. They are first screened to make sure they are not an explosive or other forbidden items, such as Poke Balls or drugs. During this process, the item is timestamped, and due to be discarded from the Lost and Found once discovered a month after the expiration date.
* The Battle Dome is where Guild Recruitment Exams take place. These are only required for guild applicants that wish to do field work. (For example, janitors and nurses are not subject to this exam.)

The halls are where missions and jobs are posted for members to take, plastering the interior of the building.

## Their Mission

The Iron Enforcers want to make Silver City a safe place for Pokémon who are too weak to protect themselves. Or at least, that's how Austera envisioned it when she created it.

The guild's methods resemble the nature of its Guildmaster; severe and somewhat strict. They are more focused on enforcing their list of laws than doing typical rescue guild duties. The guild is less friendly and more task-oriented, as it is the only guild in Silver City to be successfully elected as the mayor's task force. They may take bribes to ignore petty thefts, but will not stand for assaulters and murderers.

As it stands, Iron Enforcers is not a sex-positive guild like La Casa Monstro. This is because the guild partners with schools to provide training programs to children, which would be rather inappropriate.

## Guild Recruitment Exam

The Iron Enforcer's recruitment examination process happens in the Iron Enforcers Battle Dome, and is led by the guild's recruiter, Sierra Cynderspade.

The Battle Dome rewards testers for taking any measures possible to defeat their opponent.

The arena has four gates with chargestone timers wired to them, as well as displays for the timers. Recruits are permitted to take any items with them into the exam.

Each gate begins counting down when the fight starts:

* The first gate will open after two minutes.
* The second gate will open after five minutes.
* The third gate will open after ten minutes.

Iron Enforcers recruits are expected to hold their own against a group of opponents, and the test is over once all opponents are defeated.

The test concludes if all released Pokemon are defeated, even if all of the gates have not opened yet.

The timers are pushed *back* by five seconds if the recruit uses any of the following tactics:

* Landing super-effective attacks
* Landing critical hits
* Foul Play (successful use of Sand Attack, Thief or any other means of unfair play)

The timers are pushed *forwards* by five seconds if the recruit's opponent uses any of the above tactics against them successfully.

Each gate contains a new guild member to test the recruit. The test rewards Pokemon who can endure a beating from several Pokemon at once or can quickly take down a single target.
