THE GENDARMAriE
The Gendarmarie, also called the Internal Troops, act as general law enforcement in the Unified Kingdom of Overna. While technically part of the military, they are not counted as active militant troops and therefore are treated as "others", "civilian", or "auxiliary" when counting military numbers, depending on the status of the Gendarme in question.
They have a duty to uphold the law and maintain peace across the Kingdom. They are under the supervision of the High Inquisitor and work to rooting out internal struggles ranging from petty thievery and brawls to criminal conspiracies and treasonous acts. They are known by their medallions, carrying the sigil of Overna along with a numbers in Elder Common that read out their rank and division.
The most common of the Gendarmarie a person would encounter would be the Benemeri, or the local guards. They are expected to patrol and maintain peace across the civil people, solve local disputes and crimes and participate in larger operations lead by their Division Captain. They are also expected to be part of the local defenses if the population comes under attack by an enemy such as during a siege.
One of the higher ranks of the Gendarmarie are the Inspettorre, or more widely known as the Inquisitors. They are tasked with more classified investigations and report directly to the High Inquisitor. An Inspettorre, along with Division Captains, are equipped with Warning Sigils and Diabolist Rings.
There is also another, more specialized division of the Gendarmarie known as the Guardabosque, or more widely recognized as the Overnan Rangers. They enforce the law on stretches of wildlands, able to survive there and keep the peace on smaller, more rural settlements. Much like the Inspettorre, they are widely recognize as one of the elites of the Gendarmarie, and are equipped with Warning Sigils and Diabolist Rings.
