The men of the North Watch are drawn mainly from the landed families of the Duchy's nobility or those merchants wealthy enough to procure their son a rank of significance. They are generally well armed, and, on the surface, procedural. Peace and order in the North is well maintained. Still, it is seen by many as merely a machine for the politics of the Couer, the career of their members more determined by tithes to the Duke and fealty than any real measure of competence or ideals of justice. To be sure, decorum is severely followed, appearances are maintained and duties are, for the most part, carried out effectively. Yet in many matters the North Watch can be disinterested or even cruel, selfish preservation often taking precedence over their sworn duties. It is better to overlook many disturbing cases where the noble and powerful are concerned, a headless guardsman is one who cannot be promoted.
