[QUOTE="Gregor, post: 5420821, member: 11751"] Alric, your time serving with the City Guard is sufficient to answer Hrimr's question. You know that A typical northern or southern gate (not the East or West main gates which are currently staffed to face a military siege) is guarded by forty soldiers and a pair of gatekeepers both night and day. At any given time, sixteen of these guards are directly in charge of the gate while the rest patrol the walls. *************** "[COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]You've all raised some good questions, and I'll see what I can do about answering them,[/COLOR]" says Torrent as she approaches the map.
