The Corvine Guard

Description

The Corvine Guard are House Cadere's feather-cloaked soldiers, shaped as much by loyalty and familiarity as by discipline—men who grew up alongside their lord and have never quite forgotten it. They live by the motto "Work hard, play hard," and mean both halves with equal sincerity, as John Smithson proved by leaping into a brothel brawl with the same enthusiasm he'd brought to the evening's entertainment. Their authority is complicated by the presence of Royal Guard members, creating an uneasy question of rank that simmers beneath their easy camaraderie. What defines them most is not their ceremony or their black cloaks, but the rough, genuine bond between soldier and lord forged over years at Ravens Rest.
