• Guards

Your sanctum is staffed by guards who maintain the sanctum as well as protect it from outsiders. These count as Followers, except they use your dots in the Sanctum birthright rather than the Followers Birthright. You may not add tags to these followers. They are usually (but not always) the Heavy Archetype. These followers use the Defense of the Sanctum rather than their own Defense when defending (if removed from the Sanctum, they lose this benefit). Tier 2 characters may add 1 dot of follower features to the followers, tier 3 characters may add 3 dots. Note Alternatively, you can purchase followers as a separate birthright. If you do this, the followers in the Sanctum also gain the Defensive bonus of the Sanctum.
