Palace Guard
A palace sentinel steps between an attack and their liege, turning a defended strike into a sharper counter of their own.
Often the younger offspring of minor nobility or those from long lines of trusted staff, palace guards are in charge of defending the royal family and their inner stronghold. Their days consist of guarding doorways, escorting nobles, and keeping those in their charge as safe as possible.
