Veilward

When hostile sorcery darkened the air, Vitae raised no boast against it, but a veil through which malice could not easily pass.

True warding was not vengeance, but guardianship, preserving mind, body, and spirit from the reach of powers that sought to bend them from afar.

Thus the watchful were taught to turn aside the unseen, that spellcraft itself might be answered without surrendering to it.

For mercy is not always the healing hand; sometimes it is the shield that ensures the wound is never made. - Codex Vitae
