Sentinels

Sentinels are the elite guardians of the Sovereigns of the Empire of Aeyzeria. They are the shield to the Scythes' sword, ready to repel any hostile activity against the Sovereigns. They are generally handpicked from the Highlanders and Myrmidons. They consist of mostly ground-based units, but have air capability if needed. At least three Armis and 20 Sentinels travel with the Sovereign at all times. They are silent protectors, trusted to even accompany the Sovereign in discussions of highly classified affairs. These veterans are generally old when they take the Oath of the Sentinel, from late 30s to 60s, and while no longer as spry as their younger comrades, are still highly capable of fulfilling their duties as the Sovereigns' bodyguards. Upon taking their oath, however, they are bound to the position for the rest of their life.

History
The Sentinels were a post originally made with the foundation of the Kingdom of Aeyzeria, before the Empire had taken sway in the 20th century.
