The Garniss Border Patrol, or GBP, is the oldest survivor group in Scarletwood. Ostensibly dedicated to protecting the suburb from the zombie menace, the GBP is actually a secret society dedicated to the art of brewery and the preservation of the secret recipe to Malton's greatest alcoholic beverage, the Garniss Special. Invented in the 13th century by ancient monks, the Garniss Special is said to give the drinker supernatural abilities and also 'totally get you hammered'. The Garniss Border Patrol's home base, The Garniss Building, rests upon the very site of that ancient monastery, and the members of the GBP who stay there feel a deep connection to the ancient tradition of getting really, really drunk.
A Brief Overview
Who the hell are the GBP, and why should I care?
The GBP is made up of survivors holed up in Scarletwood, whose members are dedicated to preserving the ancient art of brewing the Garniss Special and protecting its secret formula from the grabby, rotten hands of zombies, specifically the Feral Undead, who never seem to leave them alone. You should care who the GBP is because they are bloody awesome and the Garniss Special is so potent it can melt through steel in half an hour.
How the GBP Came To Be
The GBP was started centuries ago by an order of ancient monks dedicated to the art of getting really drunk off their asses. Their experimentation with various wines and ales eventually lead to the creation of a mysterious beverage known only as the Garnissfield Special, after the monk Hans Garnissfield, who invented it. Over time, the original name became lost to the ages but when the Border Patrol took up residence in the building and discovered the ancient formula, the Garniss Special was perfected and the Garniss Border Patrol was born in order to protect the sanctity and glorious quality of this ancient drink.
What Exactly IS the Garniss Border Patrol?
Honestly, we don't have a clue what we're doing but five years of continuous alcohol poisoning will do that to a group. If we knew the answer there'd probably be some hairy chest thumping among the guys and a lot of bragging and cat-calling out of upper storied windows from the girls (or do I have that reversed?)
For now, let's just say it's a sekret because we want to be as mysterious as some of the other groups in Malton but we'll be sure to post as soon as we figure it out if it doesn't interfere with Happy Hour.

Overheard in Garniss
When asked how he'd describe recent events in the Garniss Building for a wiki update, Jason Fullbrook was quick to say "Garniss was up and down like a couple of Kangaroos in mating season."
(I don't think I could have summed it up any better than that.)
The Garniss Border Patrol Prayer
"Our lager, Which art in barrels, Hallowed be thy drink. Thy will be drunk, (I will be drunk), At home as it is in the tavern." "Give us this day our foamy head, And forgive us our spillage, As we forgive those who spill against us. And lead us not to incarceration, But deliver us from hangovers. For thine is the beer, the bitter, and the lager. ......Barmen. *quaffs reverently*"
(Thank you, Brazzah Wisney. Aman!)
