HEIMDALL'S SENTINELS
❧ HEIMDALL'S SENTINELS
The sentinels are the first line of defense between Asgard and whoever or whatever seeks to harm them, or so Heimdall intends it. They patrol Asgard's borders, investigating any sign of threat, as well as loosely patrolling the streets with an eye out for any sign of unrest. Heimdall's sentinels can be called to the scene of an altercation that needs intervention, though they must be careful not to overstep and act as the hand of the law.
The sentinels, as a group, are also responsible for the battle-readiness of Wanderers outside the sentinels. Helping other Wanderers learn to fight, sparring with them for practice, and other such tasks are within the purview of the sentinals's overarching responsibility. In fact, some members of the sentinels may opt to adopt a teaching role exclusively, guiding fledgling fighters on a daily basis rather than participating in patrols and the like.
In times of battle, the sentinels are found on the front lines - not mandatorily, but via strong urging and promised reward.

❖ how being a sentinel works:
- Each month, head over to the Participation Sound-off to let us/Heimdall if your character is actively participating in the sentinels' city guard, and to receive your character's patrol assignments. Nearly all of the sentinels serve primarily as a city guard - and as such, they primarily patrol the borders of our city. With our current number of sentinels, Heimdall is able to assign each individual a district to patrol twice daily, taking ~3 hours per patrol. These patrols ensure that nothing dangerous lurks on the fringes of the city, as well as keeping an eye or ear out for civil unrest. If danger is encountered, they alert the rest of the guard and hold the line until other sentinels arrive. If they come upon civil unrest that either has escalated to violence or seems likely to, they intervene to the best of their ability with intent to end the conflict.
Throughout the month, certain patrol routes will encounter issues of some sort. For the most part, these are currently moderately tame - but as the months go by and Asgard begins to encounter more and more overall danger, these encounters will escalate and can actually impact the city overall.
A tip line top-level exists for citizens and/or individuals from other gods' vocations to drop information that the sentinels need to know. For example, a scout who encounters a dangerous horde of chimera in the woods close to Asgard will ideally report directly to the sentinels so they can gear up to fight those chimera. Anything that reaches the tip line will then be posted by Heimdall in the Sentinels Needed top-level, where they can be claimed by sentinels who want to mobilize against whatever issue or threat is featured.
Another key feature of sentinel life that many choose to assist in is combat training + education. Combat educators typically host their lessons in Temjask Arena for accessibility reasons, but are welcome to do so anywhere they choose. There's no need for a combat educator to linger around the Arena unless they so choose - should a Wanderer desire combat training, they're simply to drop a request into the drop-box near the Arena's entrance (represented by the Combat Educator / Sparring Partner Needed top-level) and all fitting educators receive an alert.

TIP LINE for heimdall's sentinels
SENTINEL(S) NEEDED
APRIL: GROUP INVESTIGATION
As a sentinel, your role will be one of protection. To help ensure this, Heimdall has gifted each of his charges with a simple spell that creates a magic barrier across the skin of investigators. A shimmer appears on their skin, and they'll be able to enter the cave without feeling the effects of any blighted magic. The spell must be cast outside of the cave, and any investigator must leave before the magic wears off. Each sentinel can cast this spell three times and it will last a total of 30 minutes.
Please respond if you are an interested sentinel. From there, either wait for an investigator to reach out to you, or go looking for a partner yourself! Those who successfully form a pair have the potential to discover something interesting within the cave.

That and she'd want very careful assurances that they'd be safe while affected.

in the cave, they will note that the blood pool is large enough to constitute a deadly loss of blood, and if they're experienced guessing the age of dried blood (Shen Wei is), that it seems to be dated to the time the cave began making people ill

I apologize for getting hopes up here, but she'll probably sit this one out, though I'd be interested in doing something with Shen Wei in future events.

She'll be enthusiastically conducting patrols during the evenings, since trolls are more nocturnal than they are day-time, and getting used to using her nostril based powers to sniff around town.

Your patrol assignments this month:
If you so desire, Heimdall will ask Kesi during one of these weeks to watch the previous event's infected cave for a few days, instructing him to stand guard and potentially defend it if anyone tries to enter or commit other suspicious activity. He is also allowed to bring up to 2-3 friends or associates, like a scout or fellow sentinel, etc.
