In the frostbitten realms of Rueside, the Winter Guard emerged as an elite faction within the Silk Guard, a testament to unwavering loyalty and lethal efficiency. Their origins remain shrouded in mystery, but the elite warriors are known for undergoing relentless conditioning that strips away emotions and individuality. As a result, they become mere shadows of their former selves—emotionless protectors clad in fearsome silver and blue armor, adorned with the House of Silk’s emblem.
From their inception in July 310, the Winter Guard became synonymous with the highest tier of protection for the House of Silk. Their commitment to safeguarding the House’s top members is without question or hesitance. Each warrior is meticulously trained to prioritize duty above all, turning them into paragons of obedience and loyalty within Rueside, where their mere presence evokes a sense of dread among enemies and reassurance among allies.
Despite their terrifying reputation on the battlefield, the Winter Guard faces an internal struggle—their loss of identity challenges their very existence. While they have become unparalleled instruments of protection, the cost of their singular ambition becomes increasingly apparent as they strive to uphold the House they serve while grappling with the remnants of dreams and desires long forsaken.
As their storied legacy unfolds from June 310 onward, the Winter Guard stands at a crossroads. Will they continue their path as unwavering sentinels for the House of Silk, or will the flickers of individuality and emotion that remain start to ignite a flame of rebellion within them? Only time will reveal if they remain the formidable protectors Rueside has come to depend upon or become something else entirely in the shadows of their own making.
