Guards Revised

The guards across the cities of Cyrodiil seem to all share the same armory, adorning the same chainmail armor and cast of weapons no matter where you go. Guards Revised amends this by shaking up the weapons and armors across all of the games guards. The signature shield and cuirass for all of the cities has been retained so that their iconography shines through, and they've been bolstered with new sets of gear that match both their surroundings, and functions. Castle guards wield 2 handed weapons, jailers are armed with daggers, and guardsmen with swords, axes, and shields. Every city will have guards that now look visually distinct from one another.

As such, the cities guards are well armored in steel, wielding a variety of blades made from the same metal. While Anvils guards may not be as plentiful as other cities across Cyrodiil, they are a force to be reckoned with.

Bravils muddy streets and rustic wooden architecture are reflective of the cities poor financial state, however the arrogant count needs guards equipped to protect an unfavorable ruler.

Extravagant and generally peaceful, Cheydinhal hardly sees a need for lethal force. It's guards are plentiful but adorn simple and effective leathers, equipped with a variety of blunt steel weaponry that is aimed at subduing criminals rather than outright killing them.



Situated in the forests and close to the Imperial City, Chorrol is as mighty as it is tranquil. Much like the sturdy oak tree in town square, the cities guards are formidable as they boast light metals and leathers. With unique iron helmets, and steel axes worthy of felling trees, Chorrols guards may look easily dealt with but are ready for a fight.



Located in the highlands of the gold coast, the once bastion Kvatch has fallen to the attacks of Daedra. What guards remain have taken up whatever iron arms they could scrounge from the battlefield, still wearing their cities crest proudly along with wild furs and linen hoods to shield from the ash and rain.



Far south of the Imperial City, Leyawiin sits in a wet and humid swamp sandwiched between the Black Marsh and Elsweyr. A modest city, the ranger-like city watch is prepared to battle both criminals, and the misty, rainy climate of
