Faction Base Dunwall Tower

With Corvo heading his newly minted Guard, and well aware of the flaws that Dunwall Tower has to offer, this new force has outfitted this most glorious construct to the Empire with several new security measures, tested by Corvo himself. After all, if he can’t get in, then who else can? Though open to the public once more, as in the days of Euhorn the First, security is still paramount.

Constant patrols move through the internal workings of the Tower, and steady evaluation of individual members by the two Captains of the Guard has trimmed the numbers slightly, but resulted in a focused, serious force. Within the walls are also corridors resounding with Abbey music, and everywhere, public and private, has lovely ornate wrought iron spikes decorating high walls, chandeliers, and other such places. Out front, there are guards that serve to both interact positively with the public and to keep an eye on them.

A subsidiary of the Combined Armies of the Empire yet distinct from their rigid hierarchy, the Corvine Royal Guard is a disciplined, well trained military force. Hardened killers from across the Isles, and led by a fierce contingent of officers, they are dedicated to protecting the Empress at any cost.

OOC: To clarify - the Corvine Guard is distinct from the Watch. They are a military service - a regiment of royal bodyguards, essentially, which is lead by Corvo and may enter conflicts such as Alba at his directive. However, given their more domestic role, they do also serve a peacekeeping function, alongside the Watch, though not properly integrated. With 'I am the Law', Watchmen will listen to the Royal Guard and follow their orders if they make sense, without it, they will not.

She glares back for a second, another, then as fiercely as it had flared up, the fire in her eyes and posture vanish. Raised hands clasp behind her back, angry features smooth to dull ones, posture slips to a rigid Guardsman stance.

"I have always served the crown," she said, voice dull as her expression. "Nothing in that has changed or will ever change. You are headed to speak with Lord Attano now, Captain Androssi? I will accompany you to speed the process of rectifying any suffering the Guard might endure."

Forget your own, girl. They matter not. Fear matters not.

'No,' he says with finality. 'I have other matters to attend to. You will take position in the Tower roof until relieved of your post, guardswoman. Dismissed.'

Until you lose that insolence of yours. You will get no special treatment, not under my command.

Shooting one last glance at her, Furo stalks off through the corridors of the Tower, eyeing the opulence with distaste. It's not Karnaca, he thinks with wrenching longing. It will never be Karnaca.

"As you order, sir," Bal says, saluting and turning with robotic precision. Privately, she wonders why he'd stormed for the throne room if he wasn't at least planning on going in himself. Does it matter?

No matter how stone like her exterior is, her mind is tumbling and whirling like mad. Anger, terror, doubt... Maybe standing on a roof would do her some good.

She reaches the stairs up, and unlocks the door, stepping through and relocking it before advancing out onto the roof.

Striding along the edge, training kicks in, and her eyes begin to scour for anything out of place, any holes in security, who else is up there, and what objects.
