Profile: Red Sashes

The Red Sashes is a police/guard organization in the Marque of Dalus, functioning both as town guard for Shadowmount and the Marquis’ peacekeeping force in the northern area of the Marque. They are identified by the red sash that they wear either from shoulder to hip or around their waist.

The Red Sashes are empowered to take action as they see fit, including executions if deemed necessary. The Marquis has few rules and laws, but the ones he does are expected to be strictly and severely enforced. Aside from that the various Captains of the Red Sashes make what judgement calls they feel are appropriate.

The Red Sashes respect their lord’s power and authority, but do not revere him and certainly do not love him. Red Sashes who prove to be power hungry or unfair usually disappear suddenly and violently, one particularly incompetent sergeant being snatched by a grey flying humanoid beast in the middle of a field on a clear day. His head was later thrown down amongst his patrol.
