Verse Enforcement Division

The Verse Enforcement Division (VED) is a formal branch of the Vespian government responsible for the oversight of the Adventurer's Guild, in compliance with all verses of the Sugarland Accords. The division's operatives are tasked with investigating incidents and possible suspicions of law-breaking and professional misconduct attributed to Guild adventurers. The Verse Enforcement Division was created immediately after the Due Diadem Incident, following former Guild vice president Leon Wyldwood's coordinated terror attacks on Elamdinn. In accordance with the Accords, the Guild now functions as a Vespian corporation, subject to all laws both Vespian and foreign. in response to the Due Diadem Incident, the Guild faces more surveillance than ever, even facing the risk of extradition foreign crimes.

VED has no internal hierarchy, handlers, or assigned teams. Due to the sensitive nature of their responsibilities, VED operatives report directly to their director, who is appointed the Vespian member states. Operatives come from inside and outside the Guild alike, usually having a significant amount of field experience in law enforcement, foreign and domestic intelligence, and security. The current director is Joel Sweetwater. Operatives are typically assigned to cases in pairs, and partnerships are often formed with those paired frequently.

VED operatives have drawn the contempt of most Guild adventurers due to their oversight and policing powers. Their unique fur-lined cloaks have also earned them the pejorative term of "Hounds" with other Guild members.

Practices
When first instated, operatives are granted their a heavy gold chain known as an aiguillette, as well as a black fur-lined cloak. The aiguillette is imbued with the same sending features similarly to the Guild's standard silver studs, and they can be activated by simply touching either of the two fastens. Although the term aiguillette formally refers to the chain only, it colloquially includes the cloak as well.
