”What if the females and children wish to stay with their husbands and fathers whom are joining your guards? You will need more housing, I can guarantee you that. A family will not be broken up, especially not after such a traumatic event as the razing of Zerdargia. I do agree that it will remove some from the temptation of criminal actions; however it has really been left too late for such things to be considered. They have had three eras to join the underground organizations and gangs of this city. I wish no disrespect, I simply believe that Primus Gaudeo has enough funding to expand one of the villages close by. Archer’s Holt for instance. It is, at the moment, a large village that, with the right funding and organization could expand into a city. It is well within the jurisdiction of Primus Gaudeo; your jurisdiction, and thus any expansion on its borders is an expansion on your own. Not only that but it is not surrounded by massive walls. It has the flexibility to be expanded quite easily and in a short amount of time. I do not think the guards would be opposed to having their families live a candlemark’s ride from the city walls.” he shrugged, he had not been in Primus Gaudeo for any great amount of time since his meeting with Alicia and thus could not judge the nature of Primus’s problems upon his return; though he did know a great deal about Primus’s problems before he was expelled from the city.
”Your plan is still very sound. The guard needs to be expanded and it needs to be done quite quickly. Do you know that most of those whom joined the Phoenix Legions over the last few patterns were mostly from the Guard of Primus and the Church of Faith? Soldiers already trained and tried. You should ask to see if you can have some of them back. If anything I’m sure High Commander Nimas would be more than happy to lend you a contingent of the Phoenix Legionaries to supplement your Guards. You should not be afraid to use the Legions as your own resources. They may not fall completely under your jurisdiction; however it only takes an order to make it so. If you are pressed for guards then simply call upon the Phoenix Legions. You will have a period of downtime anyway with the new recruits. They need to be trained before you put them into the streets; especially in this city. The gangs of Primus Gaudeo are tough and organized. That is the reason why the Phoenix Legion has been used in the past to deal with them. The gangs are more of a covert enemy than rabble.” He paused, gazing at Keldon before finally he offered, ”And if you require it the Knights are more than happy to assist you. They have done it in Primus Gaudeo in the past, they did it in Port Alyxandrya, they did it in Archadoon, and there is no reason why they shouldn’t do it again if its needed. We have served Primus Gaudeo in the past and thus it is not unseemly for us to do so again.”
