welcome to silver cove, where our mission is to protect and defend the needy of beqanna. refugees, wanderers, children, orphans, the injured and the sick are all welcomed within these borders. classified as a sanctuary kingdom, we seek to keep the peace, forming neutral or friendly bonds as exclusively as can be managed depending on the political climate.
THE CARETAKER(S)
the responsibilities of this position are the same as those of a typical king or queen, and can be held by a single caretaker or two caretakers. guiding the kingdom during times of political unrest, ensuring that every newcomer is greeted at the border, and maintaining a functional and active structure within our kingdom are the caretaker’s main responsibilities.
THE PROTECTOR
the protector takes up one place in the sanctuary council, whose role can be compared to that of a general. responsibilities include leading war caste meetings, guarding the borders, training new sentries (or warriors), and representing the sanctuary as champion. furthermore, as a member of the council, the protector’s opinions and advice are sought after by the caretaker(s) to help make major decisions.
THE AMBASSADOR

VOICES

THE SPEAKERS

THE SENTRIES

THE SHELTERED
those seeking protection in silver cove. they are separate from those participating in the peace or war caste. the sheltered are allowed to remain within the cove for as long or short a period as they choose. each individual comes to be sheltered for different reasons, and are thus allowed to stay for different lengths of time. the harboured owe no allegiance to the sanctuary, and do not need to announce their departures, though they will be greeted upon arrival.
