Taur Ylvanor City Guard

The Taur Ylvanor City Guard (TYCG) is Taur Ylvanor's police force that aims to protect its citizens both from outside threats and from each other. It operates out of the Ylvan Palace.

History and Structure
Prior to the Elf-Goblin War, the TYCG was well-funded, consisted of much of the city's strongest citizens, and focused more on upholding peace within the city. However, once the war began calling for soldiers, many of the guard was recruited into the Lord's Army and Navy, leaving only a small number of guards behind to look over the city. This has left the city's defenses slightly decreased. The guards are therefore much more concerned about protecting the city from external threats than internal ones. Additionally, many of the remaining guards feel that being stationed to guard Taur Ylvanor rather than being sent to fight the goblins implies that the Lord thinks they are objectively weaker. Thus, morale among the TYCG has not been high, and guards are often found slacking off or being deliberately inefficient.

The TYCG is under the command of Captain Axel Ravalar, who is under Lord Jacques Logos.

Beliefs
The city guard puts in just enough effort to keep the city safe, since it is their duty to do so. However, due to morale being particularly low, most guards do not put in a lot of extra time or effort.

Public Opinion
The opinions of the citizens of Taur Ylvanor on the guards range from hatred to apathy. They are generally not well-liked as a group, but certain individuals that go the extra mile, like Guillam, are given some credit by citizens.
