Depiction of a Clovis Concord Zhelezo, by Anna Veltkamp from Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, p. 49.[art 1]
The Zhelezo are the city guard in the towns and islands of the Clovis Concord.
Description[]
The Concord maintained 5,200 Zhelezo as of 836 PD.[1]
They are less uniformly clothed and equipped than the Crownsguard, but exhibit a distinct trend toward wearing shades of blue and green, as opposed to the deep red shades common to imperial troops of the Dwendalian Empire. The Zhelezo are allowed to customize their armor individually.[2] Zhelezo are stationed to control entry into the city gates. They also patrol harbors and docks for illegal activity.
Known Zhelezo[]
Trivia[]
- The word "zelezo" (želě̀zo) is Proto-Slavic word for "iron" (modern Czech & Slovak "železo", Russian "желе́зо/želézo", Polish "żelazo" - all meaning "iron" in respective languages); the connection between "iron" and "guard" is rather suggestive, especially since the word "irons" is used as a synonym for "chains/shackles" in English and the Latin equivalent, "ferrum" is used as a synonym for "sword" in many (especially poetic) contexts.
