Oath Guard Initiates are newly sworn protectors bound to sacred service, undergoing trials of discipline, doctrine, and endurance. Outfitted in standard plate marked with a single glowing sigil, they train under veteran oversight. Not yet trusted with sacred relics, they serve as escorts, sentries, and assistants in rites and judgments.
Oath Guards are elite enforcers bound by ancient vows to protect sacred relics, royal bloodlines, or divine decrees. Identified by ceremonial armor and rune-marked seals, they operate independently, answer only to the crown or church, and cannot abandon their post or mission without severe, often supernatural, consequence.
