A life of service, not in waiting but in shadow and steel: this and more is the sentinel’s vow made for a character of crownguard heritage.
Sovereigns have set servants to perform all sorts of roles, both in public and private, though none is perhaps trusted so implicitly as the crownguard. While any knight or royal army officer might serve as bodyguard for a royal personage, crownguards train from adolescence on how to best serve their lords when they come of age—and until their dying breaths, whether that be by tasting a king’s supper for poison or throwing themselves before an ill-fated crossbow bolt.
One of the best ways to defeat a nefarious plot is to allow it to nearly run its course and then strike from the shadows to defeat a penultimate blow from landing true. To best serve the crown—and to best remain unnoticed—crownguards train extensively in stealth, including how to move silently in armor.
