Rakkisguard

"Glory to Westmarch. I will defend its honor until my death!"

- Commander Kaya

The Rakkisguard (a.k.a. the Westmarch Guard) is the city guard of Westmarch.

Lore
"The Westmarch guard is out in full force. Still, I suppose it makes sense..."

- Charsi

Both men and women serve in the Rakkisguard. They consist of archers and shieldmen. Officers bear the sigil of the Rakkisguard (a wolf), and can be distinguished by their wolf pelts. In 1270, the Guard wore black plate armor, while in 1285, they wore red and white plate armor. In both cases, the soldiers' shields displayed a red wolf.

The Guard posted bounties in Westmarch from various patrons.

History
In 1270, the Westmarch Guard vetted refugees from Ashwold, before letting them into Westmarch.

Fifteen years later, the guard was decimated by the Reapers when they attacked Westmarch&mdash;many of its members were raised as undead revenants in the Reapers' thrall. A number of Rakkisguard were able the secure The Survivors' Enclave. Outside this area, various guards continued to fight the Reapers, and were aided by the Nephalem. Of note, some Rakkisguard sided with Lord Wynton as he attempted to seize power.

In-game
The Westmarch Guard appear in Westmarch in Diablo Immortal. Some of their members serve as NPCs.

The Rakkisguard are represented by Westmarch Soldiers in of Diablo III. They mostly appear as friendly NPCs, or in one event, as enemies. Rakkisguard items can be worn by the player's character.

Trivia

 * They are likely named after Rakkis, the founder of Westmarch.


 * It is not entirely clear if the Westmarch Guard and Rakkisguard are the same group. However, they functionally both serve the same purpose as a city-guard of Westmarch, and while the color-scheme changes, the iconography doesn't. Ergo, the article has treated them as being synonymous.
