Lanter Guard's Destruction[]
Due to the Events of the Aukinduun World Arc, The Lantern Guard have been permenantly destroyed, ALL MEMBERS WERE KILLED in a grand siege on Rook. The following information will be kept as an archive for those simply interested in reading up on the lanturn guard, BUT NEVER SHALL THEY RETURN.
Introduction[]
The Lantern Guard no longer exists, the unit was disbanded after the walls of Rook were constructed. There is no branch of the Rook military dedicated to hunting adventurers. The Rook government highly values the adventuring community, and wishes only to work with them, and continue to foster a positive relationship with them. The Rook government respects and values the privacy of it’s citizens. Members of the Lantern Guard have not infiltrated organizations and locations of interested.
There is no man named Ronald Derak Silaf, age fifty-nine, in the employ of the Rook military. If he did exist, he would not have achieved the rank of colonel, and would not have been placed in command of the Lantern Guard, because the Lantern Guard does not exist. The Lantern Guard has not recruited troops from local monastic orders, nor does Colonel Silaf have ties to the church of Abadar. The Rook government respects all religions, and would not allow religious orders to act as law enforcers.
The Rook government fully supports it’s citizens’ right to free speech. Adventurers have the same rights as any other citizen of Rook. The disappearance of adventurers vocally critical of the government is a tragedy, and is being investigated.
Any information to the contrary are rumors created by bards, and disseminated by their inebriated audience.
Overview[]
Following the massive influx of adventurers into the Rook government was faced with a dilemma. When there exist people who can shoot fire from their hands, counter sword strikes in the blink of an eye, or take a crossbow bolt to the chest without slowing down, the existing city guard is woefully inadequate. In order to protect the population from these people, a specialized force is required, one with the tools, the training, and the authority to do what’s necessary.Taking up the mantle of the Lantern Guard, the first protectors of Rook, Silaf began to assemble a team. Manned by the military’s best and brightest, and led by a handpicked council of experts, the Lantern Guard stands against the enemies of Rook, both within and without.
