Shields of Terias

The Shields of Terias were formerly "The Shields" - a Mercenary group founded and ran by Lernan Alturien and his brother, Morag, of exceptional quality and skill. Well outfitted and quite capable, the mercenary group's leaders were betrayed by the Council of Nobles after aiding them in the siege, and consequently the Shields turned on the city, destroying House Rugalof, nearly destroying House Moore, and driving the Council from Terias. Lernan declared himself High Lord, and put his shields to work as the military backbone of the city and surrounding provinces. Highly Trained and Well Equipped, the Shields of Terias are very limited in their corruption, and maintain a strict order in their ranks that demands punishment if corruption is found. Consequently, it is difficult at best to bribe a Shield or sway them to work in your favor, rather than upholding the Law of the City. The shields are well aware of the fact that they, even without superior numbers, are more capable, better trained, and stronger willed, than the Doltanbran Watch.
