Ionlann Structure

Founded by Proto Nail'droga, the Ionlann are wholly devoted to Highcroft as a force for the King. Their jurisdiction stretched across the continent, and sometimes beyond, but they are not common guards. In fact, the forces of Highcroft break down into three factions:

When one devotes themselves to the Ionlann, they forego identity and the life they had before. They don the traditional Oso over their faces, a skull-like mask, and stand at the beck of the King, though they also track down and intervene in events on his behalf.

There are a handful of orders within the Ionlann, named after groups from Proto's homeland:

Each order is responsible for a different service to Highcroft, often leading to the orders using each other as resources.

Rather than a name, each Ionlann is assigned a number when they join. When one number dies, it is assigned to the next recruit, making for a confusing accounting and record keeping, which seems to be the point.
