Blackwatch Point

Blackwatch Point is a castle, or rather a network of castles, walls, watchtowers and outposts that sprawl across a stretch of the Southern island of The Continent of Amoth, between the mountains and the coast, roughly marking the Southern boundary of The Influence of The Black Sun.

The people of Blackwatch Point, who refer to themselves as 'Enkindled' or 'Ashborn', and to outsiders as 'Embers', are violently opposed to all members of The Church of The Black Sun, but most especially to Shades and the Shadebound. They make heavy use of fire as a means to combat the darkness, with their fortifications surrounded by constantly burning ditches in place of moats, and their soldiers carrying blazing torches in place of traditional weapons.

Government

Ser Kedrick Brightborn is the Lord of Blackwatch Point. They are supported by a number of Marshals and Luminators.

Marshals

Marshal is the title given to the various officers in Blackwatch Point who command individual fortifications across Blackwatch's network of defenses, or lead units of the Enkindled into The Influence of The Black Sun to put down Shades or the Shadebound before they can reach Southern Amoth.

Luminators

Luminator is the title given to those individuals who dedicate themselves to preaching against The Church of The Black Sun, many of whom live in Blackwatch to lead and inspire the other Ashborn, while others wander The Continent of Amoth or occasionally even further afield to encourage others to become Enkindled.
