Sentinels of the First Flame

The Sentinels of the First Flame are revered throughout Halonia for the service they provide in protecting the most important thing in their world.

It is not a job one signs up for- each Sentinel is chosen, searched for through time and space by the Oracle and personally approached about their apparent destiny. As such, they can come from any walk of life- from valiant military heroes to former mercenaries and thieves, each is given the opportunity to reach out and accept their fate, and are not forced into anything. All crimes are pardoned, all sins cleansed, and once you take the Oath of the Firekeepers, it is a pact you are sealed into for life. They held no allegiance to any country, and were above most laws of most lands. They protected the Flame only, and participated in no war save for the ones that brought it under threat. They live together in Flame's Arbor, a large palace at the foot of the mountain leading up to the Shine of the First Flame.
