Defenders of Greyhawk

The Defenders’ primary responsibility is to patrol the County’s roads and borders. When Knights of the Ram order commoners mustered, Defenders also serve as middle officers over the troops.

Unless supervising mustered troops, the Defenders are organized as follows:

Unit	Leader	Composition
Corps	Defender Colonel (DCL)	64 Patrols 4 DCP+16 DL+64 DG+640=724
Column	Defender Captain (DCP)	16 Patrols 4 DL+16 DG+160=180
Group	Defender Lieutenant (DL)	8 Patrols 4 DG+40=44
Patrol	Defender of Greyhawk (DG)	10 Patrolmen (“Regulars”)

Note: A DCL or DCP, although not a member of any chivalric order, is entitled to be addressed as “Sir” or “Lady”.
