Tin Toppers

A colloquial term used to describe the city guards of Tulston, who wear helmets made from the cheapest metals that provide very little protection, but contain trace amounts of verium woven in an intricate pattern that can be monitored by the central regency, as well as providing a deterrent for impostors and con-artists attempting to pose as law enforcement for ill gain.

The city guards are considered hardly more than bullies with badges by the lower classes, which many of them come from.  Thus, sometimes poorer citizens may use the term tin topper to describe anyone who betrays their local community in favor of the Imperial government.

The City Guard has its’ own hierarchy, but all except the chief sergeant must obey any direct order from the Regency constables.
