Dauntless Bodyguard

Few nations are capable of providing the exceptional level of protection given by a Benalish bodyguard. With an exceptional single-minded dedication to their mission, these excellent defenders are often only seen in the service of important Benalish heads of state, or granted as guides on the way home to visiting dignitaries from afar. But in recent years, mercenary companies have been able to sway a few lone soldiers from the service of Benalia, convincing them to come work for profit and glory rather than honor, and bringing all of their abilities and techniques with them.   Lifelong Defense and Beyond When at first a few soldiers of New Benalia were convinced to join the ranks of private bodyguards, giving their service to those with the right coin, they brought along with them traditional Benalish military training, teaching these same techniques to other bodyguards and mercenaries. The next few to leave New Benalia behind were officers of rank, bringing along a few of the enchanted stained-glass weapons which Benalia is famous for, allowing private smiths to craft cheaper, less powerful, recreations. The next Benalish soldiers to be poached by mercenary companies were professional Benalish bodyguards, and with them they brought powerful spellcrafting which would forever change the game, a secretive Benalish technique which allowed fallen bodyguards to help guard their wards even when their sword had fallen from their hand.
