The Mansion Guard is a specialized law enforcement agency whose purpose is to protect the Governor's Mansion. Mansion Guards are tasked with protecting government employees, directing visitors throughout the Mansion, and patrolling the border walls that surround both the Mansion and the entire perimeter of Iryna. The duties of a Mansion Guard have a certain amount of overlap with those of the City Guard (formerly Iryna PD); the two agencies collaborate in situations that equally involve both the Mansion and the rest of Iryna. Mansion Guards work around the clock, with a rotating system of shifts that covers every quarter-day and every day of the week, including weekends and holidays. The Mansion Guard uniform is a full suit of mythril plate armor, including a face-covering visor. Armor of any kind, especially plate armor, is a rare sight in Iryna, which has been peaceful for almost 500 years. The Mansion Guard's armor helps distinguish them visually from other Irynians, but makes individual guards difficult to tell apart, creating a unified public image of strength and duty. The armor is specially designed to allow full range of movement, since most Mansion Guards are not actually engaging in combat on a regular basis, but still provides adequate protection. Despite their prestigious position, the position of Mansion Guard is relatively entry-level and hourly pay is low; many Guards either rise to senior management positions within the Mansion or quit to find other jobs with better pay and/or better hours.
