[Location] The Aegis - Constabulary and Dungeon

[Wildcard]

THE AEGIS CONSTABULARY AND DUNGEON Locked in the eastern quarter of the city known as The Court is a tall stone structure, it's rigid frame simple and stoic. Loitering out front of it's wide reinforced entry stands soldiers sporting colored jerkins, leather padding, and highlighted by mail. Waiting hounds and canines sleep next to their masters, idling between halberds, spears, scabbards and legging. Pushing open the double doors, the special constables dressed in street clothes and crested patches nod to their compatriots then slip onto the cobblestone focused on trailing evidence and current cases. The Chief Constable's office opens it's window high above these meeting grounds, cigar smoke lingering with the coo of pigeons. A severe figure with a full length greying beard and regal yet simple attire wets his fingers while flipping through various scrolls and papers lining a large oaken desk. The senior Aedile and Justicar both stand and sit perspectively across from this seasoned brass debating several vassel's claim to Empire owned land and what should transpire to meet a favored result. Through the ground level entrance is the front desk, an effective if not brash figure awaits questions and concerns. Calamity as he's known by veteran constables is the gatekeeper to the various departments and captains of "Fort Corona". This heavyset orange haired soldier keeps his tongue tight and sharp while approving the clearance of a prisoner transfer from the depths of the Constabulary dungeon named by inmates and guards alike as the Abyss. Carried down by either a damp spiral staircase or a chain fed enclosure, level after level of prison cells and narrow dark hallways are carved out of solid stone, while legends abound as to the presence of spirits or worse below the final shrouded plateau of this dark citadel. As the prison is but the only one capable of sustaining such a large number of inmates indefinitely for many miles, it holds not only local filth, but outlaws, robbers, orcish mauraders, arsons, and anyone found posing a threat physically, politically or economically throughout the countryside. The Aegis is Frigid River's central law enforcement command, a smaller precinct known as "Fort Narim" lies to the west, holding down the violent shanty streets of the Pines. This Constabulary force is the city's first and final defense from the plague of crime and sheer evil knocking at the backdoor of the River's sparkling new sources of wealth and stone walls. It is divided largely into uniformed officers that patrol the block and smaller plain clothed divisions whom deal with specialized types of crime such as murders, vice, organized crime and interests connected to the Justicar, Exchequer, and various other city offices.
