The Sapphire Guard

Overview
Easily recognizable due to their striking blue cloaks, the Sapphire Guard act as the primary peacekeeping force of the Northern Sanction. The guard itself is composed primarily of humans, but seems happy enough to accept other races into their rank.

Willowdale
When a strange rift appeared in the earth near Willowdale and began unleashed undead spectres into the surrounding countryside the Sapphire Guard were the primary force holding back the menace. Though specialized in martial combat they nonetheless had sufficient access to skilled Arcanists to put wards in place, protecting the town. Out of their depth in regards to what the rift was, the Sapphire Guard was happy to accept the aid of the party in dealing with the matter.

Notable Members
Sir Lianthel Shan'dor Sundelar, a former/unofficial member that joined the party.
