Oracle Guard

The oracle guard is an elite military unit tasked with the protection of the The Oracle of Sajhdula and her residence The Golden Light Tower. They are easy to recognize in their maroon colored uniform with cream and gold details.

RECRUITMENT

It is rare for a soldier to be recruited in the Oracle Guard, as such it is a significant honor. To be considered as a candidate one must be part of the army. Most candidates are picked from the newest members of the army around the age of 20. Their superiors will have gotten a list of possible candidates from their trainers. After that it is still up to the army captains to see if the candidates are suitable. After recruitment into the Oracle Guard the soldier will be appointed to a veteran who will teach them all they need to know about being an Oracle Guard.

Military training

Around the age of 12 sajhdulan boys have the opportunity to enroll at the military school. They learn much more than fighting alone. Discipline, strategy, sports, history, mathematics, and so much more are part of their training. After six years of training they get the opportunity to apply for the city guard, the navy or the army. Further training lasts two years after which the recruits will have finished their training.

Duties

The Oracle Guard are responsible for the safety of the Oracle. They stand guard during meetings, consultations and outside her chambers. Whenever the Oracle travels outside her personal chambers she is accompanied by her guards. This can simply be her going from one part of the Tower to another, or her traveling throughout the vast city.
