Almanac – Gendarmerie
May 10th, 2012This week’s Almanac entry is the Gendarmerie. This is the police force of Sherbourg and the role of our dear friend Ald. In the real world, the term gendarmerie (and gendarme) did not get the paramilitary police connotation until the French Revolution. I’m speeding that up by a century for my purposes.
You may notice that we’ve reorganized the Almanac a little bit. We added another book, much to Diane’s anguish. I’ve created Government to handle things like the Gendarmerie. The balance of books will be restored when I add our 8th book which will be the Atlas.
It won’t for a while. I’ve got Diane busy on other things and I don’t want to redo that image till we have the Atlas ready to go.
Just in case you forgot: the new book does not yet appear on the “return to the shelves” button.
