The Town Garrison - The Town Garrison is made up of permanent military forces, and is used to protect the city. These military forces include the Ket Company of Elven Archers; the Dwarven Company of the Keep (Engineers); the Dwarven Stonethrower Battery (Catapult); and five Orc Striker teams.

The Militia - The Militia includes the Human 'Dragonclaw Company'; Folke 'Shield Company'; Human 'Blackhelm Company'; the Orc Warrior Company; and the Folke 'Sacred Dagger Scout Detachment'. The militia draws its members from the poulation of Praxis, both male and female, most of whom all have full-time jobs as farmers, shopkeepers, etc. Although there is no compulsory membership in the Militia, many residents feel obliged to fulfill their duties in defense of the city. The proximity of the Glith Empire and the Goblin Tribes of the Misty Mountains are the primary source for concern, and the reasoning behind the obligation to serve.

The Warship HDS Crescent Moon - Granted to the colony by the Kingdom of Aug as a means of protection against Esani pirates, Dragon Turtles and other seaborne threats, the Crescent Moon and her crew are maintained by House Tisdale and its family. The ship is responsible for regulating smuggling and assisting ships in distress. The Crescent Moon is rarely over a day's sail from the city.

The Order of the Dragon - The Order of the Dragon is an honorary title bestowed upon adventurers who have proved their prowess as recognized by Praxis himself; these individuals are given a small silver disc to wear around their necks. This disk grants them instant respect and fame within Praxis, as well as entitling them to special privileges reserved for heroes (including not being searched by the Town Watch when entering or leaving the city, access to Town Council buildings and audiences with the Noble Houses.) The Dragon Praxis has been known to grant special favors for members of the Order should they complete a mission critical to the success of the city. The Paladin Kelith of Tusmit, for example, was given a headquarters for helping establish peace with the Centaur Territory.
