Military Arms, Guards and City Defense part 1, Fondfield, Trillolara

All of the military are presumed to have a place to sleep when in town, extra regular clothes, eating utensils, gear for travel and shelter while traveling. Clothing for various weather conditions is supplied by Fondfield. Some units have ceremonial gear, but mostly these units have no use for such items. Each barracks has a laundry, dining room, kitchen, storage and various other supplies. Uhm, and anything I may have forgotten…

Too many troopers ? No, usually one-fourth to one-third are out on patrol outside Fondfield. Every three weeks of duty gets them three days off. Four additional days for gear, clothing, cleaning the barracks, etc. upkeep. They can drink 1 or 2 beers (total) in the unit dining room on their days off. Why not more ? The town leaders want sober troopers, and the water here is drinkable.

Not mentioned in unit lists are the several clerics, druids, magic-users,and illusionists that work with them to provide medical and magical backup.

The guards units are paid by Trillolara.
