Doom Guard

Adversaries Designed by Spencer wills

Adversary overview

the most loyal and brutal solidgers of the Royal Eldermourne Family

The Doom Guard are the iron will of the Black Crown made flesh—an elite force forged not for honor, but for control. Handpicked and ruthlessly trained, they are sent where fear must be planted and obedience ensured. Clad in dark, imposing armor and marked by their unflinching loyalty to King Alaric, they do not question, they do not falter—they execute. To the people of Eldermourne, they are both shield and threat: protectors against the horrors beyond the walls, and a grim reminder that the Crown’s reach is absolute.
