The Sentinels of Nature was a diverse forestal House comprised mainly of members of the Sentinel class, though it also welcomed members of other classes who place Nature as their foremost priority in life.
Sentinels were free to live life by any moral code; for many years they had the choice to reside in many of the cities and worship almost any God they chose. But above any of those individual freedoms, a Sentinel was loyal to nature and the Pack. Be it forest or desert, hill or valley, if any part of Nature was threatened, the Sentinels would act as one, administering their own brand of justice upon those foolish enough to cross them.
Around the Year 678AF, the Ventos Allegos, a minion of Lady Lorielan, destroyed all the Icons ending with the fall of the the Stag Crown. When the Sentinels Icon fell the Ventos Allegos travelled trough the Shadow Icon to the Eastern Ithmia. With the presence of Ventos Allegos being too much for the forest and Eleusis, the trees and woods began to become distorted. Awakened from Her slumber by the arrival of the Ventos Allegos, Lady Artemis along with Lady Gaia combined Their powers to rejuvenate the forest and removed the Ventos Allegos. With the surge of Natural energy, the trees and plants began to heal along with the trees of the the Three Great Forestal Houses, of which they then became no more.
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 concentrating in the village of Eleusis. Collectively known as the Pack, its members made up one of the more militant forestal organisations dutiful to Nature. After many successful years of such service, the Guild transformed into a House.
