Burnham Bluecoats

The Burnham Bluecoats are the primary law enforcement of the capital city of the Royal Lands, Burnham. As a hired and trained militia, they are sent throughout the city in order to keep the peace, while also acting as a national secret police that observes and eliminates any opponents to King Percival Doyle's reign. Tensions frequently brew among the common folk due to the chafing watch of the Bluecoats.

The standard uniform and equipment of the Bluecoats consists of roual blue robes, bronze scale mail breast and arm plates, a shield, greaves, a helmet, a crossbow, and a basic longsword.

Hierarchy
The basic hierachy of the Burnham Bluecoats as is follows;

Overseer
Overseers are magistrates that act as the local leadership for the city. Acting as both mayor and judge, they speak with the authority of King Percival Doyle and each one is instated directly from the King himself. It is customary to bow to the Overseer.

Richter
The position of Richter serves a function similar to that of an associate judge to the Overseer. Whereas the Overseer dictates only high profile judgments, a Richter would see most lower cases first, and gauge whether they were important enough to be decided by the Overseer​. The most senior Richter in a town or city is known as the "High Richter", and commands more prestige than the other Richters in the area.

Watchmaster
The Watchmaster act as the captain of the Burnham Bluecoats. Each district of Burnham has it's own Watchmaster. The Watchmaster answers directly to the Overseer.
