Upholding The Symphony, the Guardian is supposedly a guardian of the faith. Reality however, employs them as a counter to enemy spies, unruly commoners or an enemy Duke needing “cleansing”. Funded through “benevolent donations” by the Lords, and seen as guardians of the faith by the common peasants, the Guardians can move anywhere unhindered.
The Monastery tortures, interrogates and kills enemy spies in the name of The Symphony, all the while gathering tithes from the common populace. Not only wielding powerful healing magic, the Monastery and its Guardians also brew very effective anesthetics and powerful antidotes for common poison types, a service often called upon by the nobles.
Combat Role
A holy warrior wielding the two-handed great axe with ease, the Guardian symbolizes the unstoppable zeal of the Monastery, swiping at foes with huge, forceful blows.
