유격사 협회

The Bracer Guild (遊撃士協会(ゆうげきしきょうかい)) is a non-governmental organisation acting to keep the peace and protect civilians wherever its numerous and continent-spanning branches reach.

Its members are known as bracers.

Background

The Bracer Guild was founded in S.1152 in 레만 자치주. Before they were united in a continent-spanning guild, bracers are said to have been active as early as the 중세.

Bracers are investigative and combat specialists who work to protect civilians and maintain the stability of their respective regions. They aid the community in various ways such as exterminating monsters, preventing crime, finding lost items, and escorting people and goods. The Bracer Guild, which has established branches across the continent, manages the affairs of the bracers in each region. Although they do not necessarily have the skills to take part in active fieldwork, the Guild also recruits capable individuals to work as receptionists at their branches across the continent.

Due to its international and neutral nature, it often mediates between disputing powers, and it even played a role in ending the Hundred Days War and several other large-scale incidents in west 제무리아. However, as a consequence of the various roles the Bracer Guild is required to fulfill, it is often short-handed.

Although bracers are usually registered with specific branches, they may request transfers to other branches, even if those branches are operational in other countries. It is common practice for branches that are short on manpower to receive additional assistance from temporarily transferred bracers from other countries.

Guild Code

Furthermore, the Bracer Guild has a long-standing policy of non-intervention when it comes to a nation's military, as stated in Article Three of the guild code: "Bracers and Non-Involvement in Military or Political Matters. A bracer will recognize a nation's sovereignty, and may not interfere with nor arrest any person of national military or political standing."

영웅전설 하늘의 궤적 FC revealed, however, that there exists a loophole in the aforementioned policy as Article Two of the guild code states: "Bracers and Their Duty to the People. In the event of unjust imperilment of citizens, the bracer's sworn duty is to bear the responsibility for the citizen(s)' safety." This essentially forces bracers to act against a government official who is directly harming civilians if possible.

List of bracers

Liberl

Liberl has a friendly relationship with the bracer guild with branches open in all of its major cities: 그란셀 지방, 보스, 루안, 롤렌트 and 차이스. The 리벨 왕국군 has not traditionally maintained a good relationship with the Bracer Guild due to 카시우스 브라이트 leaving the military in favor of the guild. However, this has changed during the events of 영웅전설 하늘의 궤적 SC following Cassius' return to the military as the organizations cooperate with increasing frequency.

Crossbell

The Crossbell Bracer Guild operates across the state from a main branch in East Street. Due to the actions of 아리오스 매클레인, they have a very positive reputation. They are apprehensive about the forming of the 특무지원과 who seem to perform a very similar role, but grow to work cooperatively. The Crossbell branch was closed down following the annexation of Crossbell into Erebonia; however, the Empire stopped stonewalling the Guild after the 요르문간드 전역, resulting in the branch reopening as an imperial branch because Crossbell was still occupied at the time. Bracers in Crossbell typically work in pairs.

• Two more bracers, the Hero of Lightning (雷鳴の勇者) and the Ocean Monk (大海坊主), are mentioned by nickname by children in Crossbell's 아르모리카 마을.

Erebonia

Erebonia historically had good relations with the Bracer Guild but their code and mission came into direct conflict with the aims and polices of 길리아스 오스본 who pursued the closure of Guild branches. Combined with the 제국 길드 연속 습격 사건, bracer presence was almost completely removed from the empire. They temporarily became active in the capital again following the 10월 전역, but were forcibly shut in preparation for the 요르문간드 전역. Following the end of the 거대한 황혼, the guilds are once again operational.

Two branches were operational in the capital, 헤임달, on Vesta Street and Alto Street. Branches were also present in 얼스터, 생트 아크, and 레그람, which was one of the few branches that did not close.

Calvard

Calvard maintains Bracer Guild branches across the majority of its towns and cities. A relatively high level of demand has meant that they are short staffed regularly however.

Rank

As bracers advance within their guild, they are assigned a "rank". Junior bracers, as shown in 영웅전설 하늘의 궤적 FC, advance from 9th Class to 1st Class before becoming senior bracers, by performing well in their training. Recommendations from five guild branches are also required. In Liberl's case, this means one from each of the five cities. Senior bracers, as shown in 영웅전설 하늘의 궤적 SC, may advance from G Rank to A Rank, due to their achievements.

Trivia

• In 영웅전설 하늘의 궤적 SC, 에스텔 브라이트's bracer rank ranges from G to A depending on the players thoroughness. During 영웅전설 하늘의 궤적 SC, 제8장 "혼미한 대지" when Estelle confronts 올리발트 라이제 아르노르, she will proclaim her rank which causes Olivert to respond with different dialogue depending on her rank. Below are the different responses depending on her rank:
  • A-rank - "Ah, pardon me. From what I understand, A-rank bracers are among the most capable bracers alive. You will forgive me, but I find it a little difficult to believe that a young girl such as yourself could hold that rank."
  • B-rank - "Ah, I see, you're a bracer. Mmm, B-rank... That would make you a veteran bracer who could be trusted with an arbitration of this scope, but..."
  • C-rank - "Ah, I see, you're a bracer. C-rank means you are a bracer of some standing. Very well."
  • D-rank - "Ah, I see, you're a bracer. Hmm... Unless I am mistaken, the guild possesses seven ranks, G to A, does it not? How much trust can a mid-rank Liberlian bracer really be given here, I wonder?"
  • E-rank - "Ah, I see, you're a bracer. Hmm... Unless I am mistaken, the guild possesses seven ranks, G to A, does it not? How does someone who cannot even claim middle rank in the guild intend to 'arbitrate' this situation?"
