Organisation

City Watch

CanonOfficial lore from the booksSoVp. 229

The City Watch is the watch of Vansreik. The Reik Storms, the city’s oldest mercenary guild and now its main armed force, are technically a different organisation from the City Watch, but in practice there is no difference between them: the Reik Storms are the City Watch with better gear.1
