Lionguard

From Guild Wars Wiki

A Member Of The Lion Guard

The Lionguard is the traditional force protecting Kryta and the Krytan royal family. During the time of the Prophecies Campaign, the royal family is believed to have been totally wiped out, and the Lionguard have been replaced by the White Mantle as the primary protectors of Kryta. At this time the Lionguard is relegated to simple peacekeeping and guard duty inside Lion's Arch and in the surrounding countryside.

The Lionguard still keep to the old traditions of Kryta, including worship of the Five Gods, a fact that causes some friction with the White Mantle. Furthermore, some lionguards dream of returning the Guard to the glory of old, and have even secretly made moves against the White Mantle, including moves toward re-establishing the royal family as the rightful rulers of Kryta.

Lionguards normally walk around in cities and outposts, especially in Lion's Arch. The ones who stand still include Lionguard Bedo and Lionguard Figo.
