Eastport Sea Guard

The Eastport Sea Guard are an elite unit of hybrid infantry that serve in the military of the Commonwealth of Lorenthal. They are stationed in the vital city-harbor of Eastport and serve as its protectors and a capable mobile force. They fulfill the same roles as city guards, also acting as marines, medium infantry, marksmen, and firefighters should duty call. The multitude of roles they must fulfill make them phenomenal hybrid soldiers, though they lack much specialty in any one area. During the events of the Lorenthalian Civil War, Eastport remained a royalist city and the Sea Guard defended it from revolutionary forces aptly during its nine month course. At war's end, with Queen Cerys and the remainder of the royalist army taking to the seas, the Sea Guard held the gates against overwhelming odds and served as the rearguard for the fleet of ships. Those that defended the harbor were killed to a man, though Llewellyn Griffith arrived and took command before any others could be slain.

Thus the Sea Guard still remains, serving under a new government with fewer men but no less sense of purpose. Many hold royalist sympathies yet are wise enough to serve anyways, and they are actively recruiting in order to bring their numbers up to pre-war standards.
