The '''Northern Watch''', commissioned under His Grace, Baron [[Gyfford|Gyfford Theren]], is a military organization dedicated to providing steadfast support to Therengia, the Baron and his family, and the provincial citizens. Our guiding principle is '''Deeds above Words''', exemplifying our commitment to action over inaction: we do good things to good people, and bad things to bad people. |
|||
Originally founded under the guidance of the honorable Sir Madigan, the Northern Watch has progressed over the years to become the mobile, self-supported infantry brigade it is today. Contributing to its fabled history are former commanders Marsais, [[Jerid]], Jayrbee, Frodes, and [[Lyathe]]. The brigade is comprised of The Royal Vanguard Combat Group and The Royal Medical Corps.<br> |
|||
Founded by Sir [[Madigan]], the Watch has thrived under the guidance of several notable commanders, including [[Marsais]], [[Jerid]], [[Jayrbee]], [[Frodes]], and [[Lyathe]]. After nearly two decades of inactivity, the Watch was reestablished in the year 441 under the command of Sir [[Madigan]]. |

While serving all of Therengia, the Watch maintains its headquarters in [[Rossman's Landing]]. |

Our training efforts will be focused on developing a strong intel unit, battlefield triage unit, as well as multiple hostile response and containment squads. This is our passion and motivation as well as what we as a brigade will strive to offer His Grace and the Therengian Citizens. <br><br /> |
