The Night Watch

The Night Watch

The Nachtwald is a strange and mysterious place, full of danger and surprises well beyond the expertise of the average individual. It realizes special foes, special situations and special problems. For this very reason a Unit of specialized individuals has been assembled for dealing with the odd forest.

The Night Watch, Commanded by Drake von Aramov, is a group of highly trained soldiers whom soul duty is all things 'Wald'. They routinely patrol the forest and it's village side borders, they repel attacks and provide public updates so as to keep everyone on the same page with the Wald and living with it.

Members of the Night Watch are held to an extremely exacting standard. Their duties require things of men and women seldom requested of soldiers on a line, thus the soldiers of the Night Watch are tempered and trained to extremes by their Commander in an attempt to make them the most elite and specialized fighting unit in Seedorf.
