Sentinel Marshals are the pride of House Deneith. A Marshal on the frontier could be pursuing a fugitive that’s seeking to shelter in Droaam, or they might be encountered as an elite bodyguard protecting a merchant or important emissary.

Sentinel Marshals are among the best the Blademarks Guild has to offer: they are dedicated to their work, and not easily swayed by taunts, vices, or other distractions.
