They hold the town as a safe zone for civilians: barracks, hospital, street patrols, and a market run by the Ashen Traders. Captain Davis runs the Guard from the barracks. Doctor Clark works the hospital. Kevin keeps the market stall. ## Safe ground Weapons cannot be drawn on Birchport's streets or inside faction buildings. Town is where you heal, trade, and read the boards. That protection is for people who follow the rules. Fighting players or guards in Birchport turns the whole garrison hostile. ## Theft The National Guard watches the hospital and the barracks, and their dead wherever they fell. Searching their furniture or one of their bodies counts as theft. If a guard sees you finish the search, the whole Birchport garrison turns hostile. Stop searching and they stand down. The Red Order uses the same rule inside their own walls, but only the squad in that building turns.

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://deadtiles.gitbook.io/deadtiles-docs/the-county/birchport.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
