The Regalian Guards are armed in so called semi-mail, a combination of half plates (usually localized to the chest, forearms, lower legs and waist), supported with a scale armor shirt and coat. Helmets are not always mandatory, while the armor often uses dark blue and black tone cloth to decorate it and make the guards visible in the street. The reason why they are unofficially called the Bluesteel Guards aside from past associations, is because all guards are armed with a Bluesteel Sword which is issued by the Regalian Guard Force. These weapons and armor don't belong to the individual soldiers, rather, they are returned to the barracks as soon as the Guard is fired or leaves duty. Guards can, in certain situations, also make use of a variety of military hardware when their Landesgericht Inspector approves of it. This includes siege crossbows for the removal of dangerous creatures, handheld battering rams for doors and gates, and in some extreme cases, the Regalian Guards operate the siege engines that are on top of the city walls to defend the city. Guards and Crown Protectors alike must always wear their signature armor, otherwise their actions are illegal if they violate state law (while on duty, Guards may be able to ignore some State laws in order to arrest or seize a criminal) | |||
