The Vigilant Shield is an organisation not unfamiliar to the Regalian Crown Isle in recent years. Founded after the collapse of the first Violet Order by William Howlester, the Vigilant Shield maintained dominance for some time over City Law Enforcement in the capital until the Charter Dissolvement order in late 304AC with the formation of a more congregated Regalian Law Enforcement Organisation which brought an end to the organisation. Nowadays, after its re-establishment in October of 305AC by William Howlester's son, Rodderick Howlester, the Vigilant Shield has once again become one of the pillar stones of Regalian Law Enforcement under the leadership of Ania Howlester. With charters now against recently dissolved, the Vigilant Shield has been absorbed within the revitalised Violet Order as the Vigilant Chapter, identifiable by their noble blue sash and regal stature. The Vigilants aim to uphold the law to the best of their ability, striking down corruption and serving the Regalian Government faithfully and honourably.
The Vigilant Shield acts and operates as an alternative law enforcement chapter to the various other chapters available to be applied for. What sets the Vigilant Shield apart from the others, is that it has a history of exclusively operating as the Regalian Governments protector and investigation unit, that cracks down on supposed uprisings and criminal organisations that threaten the rights of the Regalian Noble Peerage and the Government as a whole. The Vigilant Shield accepts recruits of all races and gender, focusing on ensuring that race aside, the city remains wholly secure. The Vigilant Shield operates out of the Red Citadel found at /tp Prison, and shares the holding with the other various Regalian Law Chapters under the Violet Order.
The Shield utilises Discord to stay in contact, using the various channels to keep track of arrests, warrants and general communication. All reports are handled through GoogleSheets and we promote activity and reward through our tracked merit and reward system.
The Vigilant Shield requires all of its guardsmen to wear armor on duty, in lieu of the policies set by the Violet Order.
