About this class
Sentinels are champions attuned to the veil between life and death, sworn to protect it. These warriors wield the power of the shadows and void to ensure souls pass safely to the realms beyond while protecting the living from those
who would corrupt the natural order. Through their mastery of shadow magic, they can shroud themselves and others in protective darkness or wither their enemies with the curse of the void. Sentinels walk the line between protector and reaper, using heir connection to death itself as both shield and weapon.
