The Grand Watcher's Court

## Description

The Grand Watcher's Court consists of The Grand Watcher's most trusted advisors as well as her royal guards. Typically, her advisors are fellow Watchers, while her guards are shattered soldiers.

## Her Advisors

The purpose of The Grand Watcher's Advisors is to serve as diplomatic representatives for The Grand Watcher whenever Penumbra's other gods needed to speak with her, as her job demands her full attention at all times.

The Grand Watcher's Advisors always has no more than 6 members at any point, these 6 members typically remain in the council until death or until The Grand Watcher deems the advisors to be ill-fit for the job and executes them.

## Her Royal Guards

The Grand Watcher has a small army of twenty Elite Shattered, acting as her personal bodyguards at all time. While male shattered exist, only female shattered are allowed onto The Grand Watcher's guard, mainly because there are only female Watchers, also because The Grand Watcher thinks women are hot.

The shattered in the Royal Guards are exclusively of the elite variety, marked by the horns on their head, the markings on their forearms, and their vastly superior strength to normal shattered.

Because the Shattered have stone skin, resistant to almost all forms of cuts and slashes by blades and only damaged by blunt force or punctures, armor is not really necessary; although the Royal Guards are equipped with light armor and spears, for extra protection, offense, and intimidation. Because shattered have no vital organs, the armor on the Royal Guards is slim, mainly protecting the shoulders, chest, femur, neck, and knees; the armor worn by the guards is light, only covering what absolutely needs to be covered, the rest of the shattered body is mostly uncovered to allow for as much flexibility as possible as, like the watchers, the shattered have no stigma against showing bare skin. Additionally, the shattered in the guard have the mark of the watcher branded on their breasts personally by The Grand Watcher to prevent any possible identity theft.

In history, The Grand Watcher has only had 23 documented royal guards, two of which were killed while defending the goddess and replaced, the other was personally executed by The Grand Watcher herself for committing a cardinal sin against the Grand Watcher, not only seeking a relationship, but also attempting to produce offspring; this was utter blasphemy in the eye of The Grand Watcher, that day, her fury caused the entire sky to glow a bloody red color and the normally cold winter temperature to skyrocket upwards of 60 degrees Celsius for a full 24 hours, nearly ruining the entire global ecosystem of Penumbra permanently. The poor soul who just wanted a child was sentenced to be melted alive, being placed in a volcano burning as hot as the sun and being cut, beaten, and stabbed as her body slowly melted into volcanic goop. Nothing could possibly survive that, but somehow, out of sheer willpower and fury for being stripped of her child, the fallen shattered reformed herself, bit by bit, and stood up, vowing to get her revenge against The Grand Watcher for stripping her of her child, Scoria Vino would get her revenge in due time...
