Pitchwood County Marshals

The Pitchwood County Marshals are the official law of the land, dedicated to protecting Pitchwood County residents and their property. Though few in number (only thirty-four, including captains), the Marshals work tirelessly to keep Pitchwood safe and lawful.

Command Structure

A Marshal typically works with a partner, and they work a circuit around their jurisdiction, either on mounted or on foot. Pitchwood County is divided into four jurisdictions, with six Marshals and a captain assigned to the area. The captain usually stays at the main jurisdiction office, but travels to trouble spots, and reports to the Shire Reeve. Above the Reeve, though, they report to Count Pitchwood, whose word is final for the Marshals.

Patrons hold no legal sway over Marshal investigations or actions, but the Marshals will sometimes defer to their requests, depending on the enormity of what is at stake.

Uniform

A Pitchwood County Marshal wears a navy blue uniform of wool trousers and jacket, with navy blue leather armor and a broad-brimmed black hat. Their range gloves and tall boots are generally of a yellowed leather. On their chests, they wear their allegience proudly, in the form of a stamped brass badge with the seal of Count Pitchwood within a five-pointed star. A captain will wear a nearly identical uniform, but is issued military-grade scale mail, and will usually adorn their hats with feathers, and will have their clothes custom-tailored with personal flair.

The standard issue arms for a Marshal is a spear and a brass-painted steel shield, with a short sword at their side. Captains will also have their favored personal weapon, as well as a firearm.
