City Watch (Kouralia)

The Kouralian Watches (Vygelas in High Kouralian) are the civilian police forces responsible for the vast majority of law enforcement. There are many different Watches that are each responsible for particular districts of the nation - usually corresponding to local government areas such as the boundaries of a city or the Hundred.

Etymology

The modern word Vygelas in High Kouralian can be literally translated into common as The Vigil, as the modern words are believed to have had a similar historic root. However, it is generally translated into Common as The Watch, with Vygean being translated as Watchman rather than the more literal Vigilant.

Despite the names, Kouralian Vygelas are not related or linked to the Mystrian Order of Vigilants - a prominent historic order of monster hunters.
