Kaladonian Citizen's Watch notice

Sir McDermitt -

The main difference that I can see is legal authority. The Royal Guard is commissioned by the Baron, whereas, presumably, the Kaladonian Watch is commissioned by the Lord of Kaladonia.

As to why your name is on the list, and the Knights of Winterdark are on the list, whereas the Knights of the other 3 lands are not, I cannot comment. Nor can I comment on why the Royal Guard is presumably insufficient to properly patrol and police the Barony.

Lord Abendroth, Sir McDermitt,

This Watch is a volunteer organization begun in the months prior. We previously confined our activities to Kaladonia, but have sought to extend our patrols and aid in the defense of the roads of the Proper in light of recent events.

The listing of the Chain of Command is based on assumptions on my part. I assumed that the nobility of the other lands would not have interest or time to work with the Watch, seeing as for most of the year it has no impact on their lands or activities. The right of command of all nobility remains, but I felt as that was public knowledge I did not need to explicitly mention it. The authority of Winterdark, as it is the Count's seat, seems immediately involved in all lands and their activities, so I asked my volunteers pay particular heed to its presence and orders, and in the absence of other officers to seek out its advice and instructions.

This is not the same thing as the Royal Guard, as it does not have power to make arrests or detain suspects within the Proper. This is a volunteer organization that seeks to assist citizens with minor concerns and engage in routine patrols and cabin checks while the Guard deals with more serious matters. We are not paid by the Barony.

If you have further concerns, please address them to me by post. It is far more effective to respond in detail to individuals than to the public.

If any wish to have their name removed, I can oblige.

Mister Gravedigger,

I do believe such a list of lists already exists.

Just up the way on the Baronial Board of great and important matters. Though admittedly it more oft than nigh runs outdate.

Wrath is correct. Mr. Dragovic, my information was taken from the public listing of all nobles of the Barony, nailed on the Baronial notice board.

Since the list seems to have caused some upset, scratched it out.

I always thought that it was common knowledge who the nobles of each land were, and that it was their sworn duty to protect us. If we all know this, and any big bad gets a hold of any one of us, they can easily get this information out of us and use that to isolate those individuals, and then attack the town while they're isolated. So having them posted up anywhere just seems a tad redundant. There is also an outdated list of the town guard that if any big bad wants to he/she can use to go after them. For a town full of secrets we seem to like to write down names. I guess that's the double edged sword of a title.  Have people know who you are so they can help you?  Or have someone know who you are to kill you?

May Gaia Protect you,

Sister Ekatarina McKraegar

A list of nobles and officials is posted publicly, so I see no harm in re-posting elsewhere.
