Jade Guard (Endhaven Supplement)

About

The Jade Guard are the ancient defenders of Charystos. They guard the city against supernatural threats, and manage that threat which is the Jade Necropolis. As the years have progressed, they have also taken to journeying into the greater world to help those in need of help. They are most famous for their Jade Armor, mined from Mount Kreta, which they enchant to protect themselves against the dead.

The Jade Guard are not a police force. They are too few for such a great city. In all the world, there are between two hundred and three hundred members.

The Great Dwarven Union honors their commission for new suits of armor. The dwarven embargo does not extend to the Jade Guard.

History

The history of this order is lost to scholars. On many occasions, the order has been destroyed to a man. The order claims a history leading back to the Crusade of Light. They were the elite force that turned many tides in those battles. They were made the Imperial Jade Guard by Thule himself. They retained this sponsorshp through the Dragon Empire. Today, they are an independent body allowed to operate inside Charystos.

gollark: I think in Judaism you're not meant to destroy documents with names of God on them, for some reason.This weirdness causes problems in our modern times, given edge cases like: does deleting documents containing that on a *computer* count?
