City "Guard"

Those serving as pawns work essentially as the "guards" of the city. In Nodd, this generally means causing more trouble than preventing it.

Pawns utilize several implements regularly such as provokers and agitators to help sow chaos. They may also intentionally mislead, frame, or otherwise harass citizens, but some will occasionally offer genuine help or guidance depending on the individual.

-|summary=Those serving as pawns work essentially as the "guards" of the city and are paid fairly well. The subtext of guard is a bit too generous, however, as pawns usually will only intervene with a given reason to do so - normally due to a situation putting some part of the city, or the council itself, in harm's way. As often as not pawns will instigate chaos rather than quell it. Pawns are largely responsible for enforcing [[Ordinances|ordinances]] and will abduct transgressors to be dealt with as necessary. Due to the ever changing nature of ordinances pawns, as well as others who work in council roles, have private channels for receiving direct information and instructions via their ego bracer.

-Due to the number of pawns and their hands-on nature with enforcement they tend to be more rowdy and are prone to hazing and singling out other, newly inducted pawns. While small groups of pawns that work in nearby areas might become comfortable with one another or form uneasy truces many are as unpleasant to one another as they are to other citizens.
-The uniforms given to pawns are usually enchanted with protective magics, especially those working in parts of the city that would demand such more readily. Pawns as individuals do their duties autonomously but still answer to and are overseen by Council Knights. This means that even a pawn cannot be entirely careless in who they harass in case the individual in question has especially high standing or impressive connections.
