Leadership/Organization
Special Units
In addition to overseeing the function of everyday rangers that keep guard over the city, the Grey Order also has five specialized units within their ranks. These units are made up of the best of the best that the Order has to offer. Each unit is made up of six men meticulously chosen to provide complementary skills and support to their unit.
Cerberus
The most well-trained and senior of the units, they are often stationed within the city itself and are ready at a moment's notice to protect Kertos from far-reaching threats.

Manticore
A unit of heavily armored Wardens, this unit is most focused on reinforcing the security of the city walls and works to find and amend breaches or possible weak points. They not only maintain the security and oversee the city watch, but in the event of an attack on the city it is their job to coordinate its defense. (this bit added by Mel)

Selkie
This unit of Wardens is in charge of policing the waterways to the North and South of Kertos. By tradition, the Selkie unit is comprised of all female members; based on the legend of Hazel O'Neil, who created her own unit within the Grey Order when her husband was slain by a band of roving river pirates. When creating the unit, she primarily recruited other women that had been widowed in the attacks, resulting in the city's first ever all-female Special Unit.

This unit of Wardens are focused more within the city of Kertos, focusing on finding organized criminal elements within the city proper. They tend to be made up of members that are adept at stealth and the use of subterfuge.
