 ===== The Guard Tower =====
-{{ :consolidated:hann_empire:regions:westland:greenscar_guard_tower.png?100|}}While the guard tower can accommodate ten people, there is generally a small unit of five guards stationed here, seconded from Westhaven.  Each of the small holdings get a daily visit from a guard or two, and then they make a 'scouting' style sweep of the local countryside.  Lightly armed, and armoured, they wear studded leather and carry a both short bow and hand axe, and are at home in the countryside.  They don't generally have much to do inside the palisade, but support the mine guards, should it be required.  They are seconded here from Westhaven, for a two or three month duty, then rotate back home.
+{{ :consolidated:hann_empire:regions:westland:greenscar_guard_tower.png?100|}}While the Guard Tower can accommodate ten people, the standard garrison has a Sgt and a 'Hand' of guards.  They make a 'scouting' style sweep of the local countryside on a regular basis, making sure they are seen in both the town an small farms. After all, it is taxes from those developments that pay their wages.  Lightly armed, and armoured, they wear studded leather and carry a both short bow and hand axe, and are at home in the countryside.  They don't generally have much to do inside the palisade, but support the mine guards, should it be required.  They are seconded here from Westhaven, for a two or three month duty, then rotate back home.
+  * **The National Guard** - they make occasional patrols along the road to Westhaven, in concert with some of the White Company Prospectors, but only they meet up with the Westhaven patrol.  Once a month, this patrol coincides with the guard's duty changes, and one of the Greescar Guards (who has completed their  tour of duty) swaps places, and returns to Westhaven, while their replacement carries on to Greenscar.

-  * **Militia** - One of the functions of The Governor's Guard, is to provide basic weapon and military training for locals.  Anyone can join the militia and get the training free of charge, however, they are expected to turn out for militia musters, practice their skills and defend the town, should it be attacked.  They may, in unusual circumstances, be called on to form a posse, and help with official searches of the area.

 ===== Herling Farm =====
-Not fully developed yet, but it will be a large farm, concentrating on cash crops and some form of export -  rather than vegetables and local supplies.  Owned by House Moran (an investor in The White Company) who see it as a longer term investment.
