- This page is about the House. For the class, please see Sentinel.
The Sentinels of Nature is a diverse forestal House comprised mainly of members of the Sentinel class, though it also welcomes members of other classes who place Nature as their foremost priority in life.
Sentinels are free to live life by any moral code; they have the choice to reside in many of the cities and worship almost any God they choose. But above any of these individual freedoms, a Sentinel is loyal to nature and the Pack. Be it forest or desert, hill or valley, if any part of Nature is threatened, the Sentinels will act as one, administering their own brand of justice upon those foolish enough to cross them.
Founding
Seeking a less rural lifestyle than their Druid cousins, the Sentinel Guild was founded in the year 202 A.F., making its way into the cities of Sapience and currently concentrated in the village of Eleusis. Collectively known as the Pack, its members make up one of the more militant forestal organisations dutiful to Nature. After many successful years of such service, the Guild transformed into a House.
