Deathwatch Guards
The Seanchan Deathwatch Guards are perhaps the most honored and valued of the Imperial servants. The Deathwatch Guards are charged with the protection of the Imperial family. They are easily recognized by both their black-tasseled spears and black shields. These fearsome warriors are known for their willingness to kill or die, as necessary, to protect the Imperial family. Sometimes a segment of the Deathwatch Guards is loaned, as an honor, to other nobles. The most elite members of the Deathwatch Guards are never loaned, however, and are responsible for the life of the Empress herself and her immediate family. Not all members of the Guard are even human. Some are Ogier. These Ogier are more somber than their relatives across the ocean. The soldiers of the Deathwatch are among the most fearsome fighters in the world, and inspire fear in any who would even consider an attack on the Empress.
