As Westruun is under martial law, a military unit known as the "Shields of the Plains" serves also as law enforcement, though they are ineffective against the Clasp.[12] While Westruun is a much smaller city than Emon and requires fewer men patrolling it, the Shields of the Plains are also tasked with patrolling much of the central portion of the realm. With an established strength of only 800, they are spread thin and have barely kept the roaming bands of Ravagers at bay. About 150 of these "Shields" are permanently stationed as a detachment in the small town of Turst Fields to enforce the laws and protect it from roaming Ravagers.[13]
