The Sentinels of Light

The Sentinels of Light are an elite order of warriors within the Church of Veritaz , dedicated to the unwavering defense of the innocent and the eradication of darkness.
Originally formed as protectors of refugees fleeing the ravages of war, they have evolved into an elite force. Their unwavering faith in the goddess and exceptional combat prowess make them formidable guardians of the Church's values. However, their mission extends beyond mere defense; they are also tasked with spreading the Church's message of truth, compassion, and hope beyond the borders of the Eastern Kingdom.
Their mastery of martial arts and profound faith in the goddess Veritas make them formidable forces against evil.
Although the sentinels have changed over time, one of their main missions continues to be to take care, protect, and take to safe haven those who need it: be they refugees, politically persecuted and, above all, believers of Veritaz.
