The Sparrowdale Guardhouse

The Sparrowdale Guardhouse is the headquarters for those who enforce the law of Sparrowdale. A multi-story building made of stone, it is a place for the guard to restock and rest while patrolling and protecting the streets of Sparrowdale.

With such an effective guard force, it is only a matter of time before a thief or disturber of the peace finds their way here, as it also doubles as a jail. In the lower floor there are several cells separated by metal bars. While some of the jail cells contain windows, most are simple unadorned rooms where prisoners wait out their sentence.

An anti-magic field surrounds the jail cells, an essential feature, as occasionally a criminal with magical talent will need to be detained. Despite this, the guard also maintain a pair of Shocker Lizards, who prove quite effective at maintaining order (or just forcing somebody to pass out) within the effect of the otherwise anti-magic field. The jails are also equipped with smaller cages, in the event that an animal or pet needs to be detained. They also double as beds for the shocker lizards, when unoccupied.

As the more serious crimes result in the death of the offender, the Sparrowdale Guardhouse is near the center of town, where criminals are occasionally brought to hang to death (a popular public spectacle- be sure to stop by for hanging times!).
