What is Borderwatch?
Borderwatch is the name of the military branch of our Shire. When shire members are participating in martial activities they may opt to wear our military heraldry. They are a loyal fighting unit to the crown of AEthelmearc that supports Central Regional Army. The leader of the Borderwatch is Sir Tarl Shadowraven. You can contact Thorfinnr y Elsfiord, the Quartermaster, at Thorfinnr.Elsfiord@gmail.com. He will put you in touch with whomever you want.
History of the Unit’s Name: The name comes from the fact that the shire lands make them the defenders of AEthelmearc’s western border. Vigilantly watching the movements of the Mid-Realm.
Symbolism of the Heraldry: The sky is white with overcast clouds as the fields in front of our enemies black fortresses are set ablaze. We are the pale horse of death running sinisterly to crush their hopes.
