"Draw (or describe) the uniform of the military or police"
The Uniforms of the Vespertine brigade are an interesting specimen, Beside the brocades, the fluffy quills, the shiny boots and the cloak. The more interesting aspect is the grill.
The Vespertine brigade are all equiped with a metal plate, attached to the shoulderpads, which covers the face of the guardsman from chin to nose. It has a slotted grill allowing air to flow, but not completely.
You see, centuries ago, there was a great plague, the city of Versper suffered greatly, it didn't kill, just made alot of people weak, and unable to defend themselves against anyone who was unafflicted, so for months, the entire city was at the mercy of a few rogues who were immune to the disease.
So some clever sorcerers and tinkerers invented a facegrill to be worn by some heroes, so they could arrest the rogues. Once proven to be useful, the king ordered a full regiments worth of these, with extra abilities built in for commanders and the king.
There were some improvements made, so the original grills have been de-commissioned (and might be available on the black market).
While now over a hundred years old, the grills still work perfectly (as does many magical items if cared for). Their abilities are:
* Blocks out 80% of all poisons, gases and air-borne diseases, -80% effects.
* At will allows wearer to increase volume of voice by 25% or 50%,
* Commands given have an influencing presence, causing listeners to obey.
As a result, the military guards have become a very effective police force, and crime in the city is lower than 20% of other cities of equal size.
