Sentinel

You grew up moving between cities and open fields, extending your services to any who needed them. You've witnessed the rise and fall of political powers and have not wavered on your quest to preserve light. You're not exactly a mercenary, but you fight on behalf of those most deserving of your protection—be that the inhabitants of a poor village or simply the endangered wildlife of a region. Even in places where you are unfamiliar with the terrain or social situations, you have an uncanny ability to seek out those in need of protection.
