Safety and Security
The Constabulary

The Constabulary serves as the law enforcement arm of Ashmoor.

Knightly Orders
Many believe the relics of an older time. These are warrior and knight orders of Ashmoor.

The Black Guard
The Black Guard was once the most powerful Knightly order in Ashmoor. Protecting the city from domestic and external threats. Though, it still boasts much of its strength its numbers have dwindled. With the use of firearms, the black guard and its old days of swords and armor have begun to fade. The Black Guard remains loyal to House Sterling.

Ashen Kings
The Ashen Kings are medium-level street gang that occupy all across Ashmoor. While they seem to act independently, they are led by the moneylender and Sterling Liason Simeon Hoyt. They are notorious for collecting debts as well as exploiting money from weaker individuals. And they aren't afraid to commit gruesome murders.

Newspapers
The Ashmoor Tattler

Owner: Unknown 

''The Ashmoor Tattler is a newer publication that the Greater Houses would probably wish didn't exist. But any attempt at tracking it down has been met in vain. Children run about offering to sell the rag to whoever wants it -- and a lot of people want it. ''

''It is for lack of better terms. A gossip rag. Where the Higher castes secrets (doesn't matter if they are true or not) are exposed to the world. ''

Ashmoor Tribune

Owner: Vali ta'Canrich

The Ashmoor Tribune is one of the oldest news outlets in Ashmoor. Though it had a recent debacle where the news source seemingly just disappeared out of nowhere, it has made a recent comeback. Unlike the Tattler, it is more known for real news rather than gossip.
