Outsiders of Ithia: The Unguard Celestial Thieves.

*The Celestials or Coelestis Exercitus, servants of the Gods, are divided into Solnatus, who serve the Seir’Ald, Orbisliberi, who serve the Powers, and Astrumortus, who serve the Fates. 

The Solnatus of Ko’Gin are the Unguard. Unguard are short, gremlin-like creatures with long horns on one side of their head, one bunny ear, prehensile feet and tail, and rodent-like buck teeth. They are highly agile, able to slip through tight spaces, bound across rooftops, and climb sheer walls. Their hands and feet have retractile claws. 

The Unguard are dangerous rouges, tricksters, and forces of nature. They can slip through any space a rat can, climb any surface a monkey could, chew through anything a rodent could, and make fun of anyone. They can summon bolts of theft, which cause items hit by them to teleport in a random direction. They are bound by the laws of Slapstick. 

The Unguard are tasked with stealing socks, moving keys, undoing tasks you swear you did, moving items to the last place you look, and stealing away the taste of food as you get older. They are the personal impish guard of Ko’Gin, divine thieves, and falling monkeys.  

The Unguard comes in ranks of Status and Power, including Comedian, Trickster, Prankster, and Nuisance.
