The Nightwatch
Order of Prudence · Anointed: Serum
In busy streets and shuttered markets, the people who became the Nightwatch gathered what others overlooked: a changed route, a missing name, a warning passed too quietly. Hydra offered them knowledge hoarded like coin, and quiet that left neighbors alone with bad decisions. Foresight became private property. They consented.
Repentance meant treating foresight as a debt owed to the people who would bear the cost. In the War of Closed Roads, lantern scouts knew which alley remained open when the obvious road had become a trap. Guild soldiers posted where a retreat could still be covered. When peace came, their Vow was Prudence.
Serum's Vow is bound to reclamation. Where others see an enemy beyond recovery, Serum searches for the point at which fear or deception took hold. That work has made the Nightwatch champion both respected and carefully watched. The Vow cannot be undone by ordinary means.
In the field
Serum. Serum cannot attack. Spend Energy beside an enemy to reclaim them at one Health for your side. The risk is adjacency. The reward is a whole body returned to the board.
