Located towards the center of Kes'Levy lies the great ironwood that houses the Emerald Guard Barracks. It is the largest of a cluster of trees that form a crescent around an area that the shapers of Kes'levy have transformed into their training grounds.
The barracks is divided into smaller sections each serving a specific function. There are the sleeping quarters for the trainees and lower ranking officers. There is also the quartermaster's office and cooresponding reception area. Classrooms for studies are also located here. Students study everything including from astronomy to theology, as well as some magicks.
At the entrance to the barracks are two Emerald Guard on patrol. The guards work in shifts and everyday, three times a day there is a small changing of the guard ceremony in which the guards coming on duty relieve the standing guards. It is a tradition that dates back many many yahren.
Sarendara stood, gazing at the entrance to the barracks. So much had gone on since she had last been here. After a series of confusing events, Sarendara had requested time off to compose herself. It had been granted, and she had dazedly tried to find meaning to the time she had spent with the guard.
Should I have come back? I need to be here. I need a purpose. I can’t wander forever…I can’t. Sarendara sighed and, bracing herself, approached the guards on duty. As she neared the entrance, something unexpected hit her, an overwhelming sense of returning home. She smiled in relief and nodded to the guards.
Projecting her voice, Sarendara addressed the guardsmen, “Greetings. I am returning after taking some time to myself…†She paused, wondering what she should say next. She doubted that it would make much of a difference, so kept quiet, observing what went on around her.
