Basic Public Safety Tips from the Watch

The Rhy'Din Watch has released these public safety tips in the hopes to save more lives and reduce crime on the streets. 1. Stay indoors at night. While some criminal elements of Rhy'Din operate during the daylight hours, most prefer to commit their crimes at night. Staying indoors is not a guarantee of safety, but it reduces chance encounters. Especially avoid areas that have been noted to be a problem in the past. 2. Lock your doors and windows. In high crime areas of the city, consider getting bars and an alarm system of some sort. Dogs are also considered to be a good deterrent. Common citizens who don't use magic may also consider contracting with a mage in order to add wards to their property in order to keep out the magic using criminal element.

3. Travel in groups, the larger the group the better. Never travel alone, especially at night, if it's at all avoidable. 4. Know your area, where the Watch stations are, where you can find safe haven if you're being followed. Pay attention to who is around you, their demeanor and whether or not they look as though they're considering an attack. 5. Buy a weapon and learn how to use it proficiently. The Rhy'Din Watch offers some basic self-defense courses, but training with a weapon and carrying it all times will help deter less violent criminals. Those who know magic should study it further and become proficient enough to heal, protect themselves and teleport or open a portal to some safe place if an attack is imminent.
