History
Shortly after being crowned, the second king of Devla, Alandro, established his seat of power in Cosanastre. Before long, a bustling city was growing exponentially around the new palace. Fearing that the Devla military—which was focused on outside threats at the time—wouldn't be able to keep peace within the city, Alandro established the City Guard, a volunteer force designed to keep the peace within the city. The Guard has grown along with the city, its numbers rising and waning along the political tides of Cosanastre.

Current
The City Guards' numbers have stayed relatively steady despite the current lack of public support for King Argast. Stationed in small outposts throughout the city, the Guard still manages to be a small deterrent against the rising levels of crime within the city. Guardsmen are considered to be bottom-of-the-barrel recruits or rejects from Justicar training, but most know one end of a sword from another, and tend to make up for their lack of skill with an abundance of enthusiasm. Most criminals try to avoid their notice out of convenience rather than necessity—a night spent jailed at a guard outpost can put a crimp in even the most well-planned heist or operation.
