Artifact Guard

The Artifact Guard was a job created for the express purpose of guarding the Yirthum storehouse, where the Chief of Yirthum would store all of the enchanted items they had gained, particularly ones of great power and/or danger.
The role was most prominently passed around by Chief Kicad Bavul, who assigned many to it during his tenure, though the most prominent names to take the position were Kruxis Lujyre, Stranger, and Vodron Nutsk.

Duties

All the guard would do is make sure no one got in and nothing got out of the storehouse, which was most difficult during the Chief Crisis when the forces of Ealla would constantly attack and try to raid the Storehouse in hopes of weakening Yirthum and stealing some of its most powerful items.

An Obsolete Role

In 550, a group of Dragons known as the Dragons of Southern Elone were hatched, each one deciding to move to a Draconian Village to protect it.
Accak, the Hidden Blade moved to Yirthum, and ultimately it was decided by the Elves that lord over Yirthum that Accak would be locked away in the storehouse. While this made it less safe in Yirthum compared to the other villages that now had the protection of a Dragon, it made it near impossible to break into the storehouse, as one would need to challenge a Dragon to do so.

Dragons of Southern Elone

As the Artifact Guard role was made defunct by one of the Dragons of Southern Elone, Accak, the Hidden Blade, it is worth listing all of their siblin Dragons that were born at the same time.

• Wrakynth, the Eternal Flame


• Voldis, Lord of the Skies


• Shirthec, Eater of Sheep


• Colmicirre, Taker of Death


• Accak, the Hidden Blade


• Yernad, Protector of Life


• Otikax, Champion of Beasts

The Artifact Guard at the time, upset at losing his job, attempted to file a complaint with the Chief, Jargar Eltan, but before Jargar could address the concerns, the Elven Guard arrived led by Captain of the Second Corps of the Elven Army Aeydark Lesuant. Aeydark put the guard in the stockades, letting him set in public for a weak before he was publicly executed for questioning the Elven authority.
Since then, the job of Artifact Guard is defunct, being filled instead by a Dragon who does not need a job.
