	The Northern Watch has grown from the small order of knights headed by Esmond Aurelianus into a full military force stationed within Avanthyr. While by no means as numerous as either Sestra's military forces nor the Legion, the Northern Watch serve as heavy cavalry to Avanthyr's own corpsmen by acting as both diplomatic emissaries as well as wartime commanders. As it was founded by an Aurelianus, so too does the family hold sway as the Grandmasters of the Watch. Their lands moved to Avanthyr in the wake of the declaration of independence, the Aurelianus family has headed the Avanthyr military forces since the Day of Broken Blades.

This council is an honored replica of the Companions of the Radiant Heart's Prelates, listing ~~it's~~ most senior elected knights to fulfill the position upon the death of a councilman.

	~~=Timeline/Historical Events~~ of ~~Note=~~		Granddaughter to Lord Esmond Aurelianus, Esme carries on her grandfather’s great tradition, serving as the Watch’s Knight-Commander, much to her father’s chagrin. She is a capable and formidable leader; her father would much prefer her to prioritize governance of House Aurelianus. Regardless, Esme has shown no inclination that she will turn away from her duties with the Watch.

			Her skill in combat earned her so many tourney and melee victories that she earned the moniker the "Sword of Avanthyr."

			'''Knight-Commander Bartholomew Seaworth'''

	~~=Leadership/People of Note=~~		Successor to Esmond and Esme’s immediate predecessor, Bartholomew Seaworth belongs to an old Avanthyrian family. For many years, he served ably as Grandmaster until a scandal rocked his family and he was forced to step down. To the surprise of many, Esme recently elevated him to a position on the Watch’s Council of Three.
