Watchers of the Sacred Grove (innovation)

The Watchers of the Sacred Grove embody a deeply spiritual Nattanan tradition rooted in the protection and reverence of nature's sanctity. To join this sacred order, initiates train from an early age to master the ways of the jungle, and upon reaching their 16th birthday, are put through a series of rigorous tests known as “Jerniem's Ordeal” to determine whether or not they are worthy. For the select few who survive the Ordeal, glory and honor await them. Life as a Watcher is not easy, for they swear binding oaths of celibacy, and are charged with preserving and defending the Sacred Grove from outside threats with their lives if need be.
