Zhelezo

The Zolezzo are the city guard in Nicodranas (and presumably rest of Menagerie Coast.) They are less uniformly clothed and equipped than the Crownsguard, but exhibit a distinct trend toward wearing shades of blue and green, as opposed to the deep red shades common to imperial troops of the Dwendalian Empire. The Zolezzo are allowed to customize their armor individually. Zolezzo are stationed to control entry into the city gates. They also patrol harbors and docks for illegal activity.

Trivia

 * The word "Zelezo" is the word for "iron" in Polish, Czech and several other Slavic languages; the connection between "iron" and "guard" is rather suggestive, especially since the word "irons" is used as a synonym for "chains/shackles" in English and the Latin equivalent, "ferrum" is used as a synonym for "sword" in many (especially poetic) contexts.
