The lords of Men, Elves, and Centaurs withdrew from the Chaos Gate after the victory, looking to heal their wounds and rebuild their ravaged nations. The clergy of the Holy Church, however, saw that the very existence of the Chaos Gate served as a dire threat. The Gate was closed but not unmade, and what opened once might open again. Cardinal Ellidaern of the Elvish Church decreed that a new Holy Order should be founded, open to all of the Children of the Gods, to stand watch over the Chaos Gate and serve as the first line of defense should Chaos stir again. Many warriors and pious priests flocked to join the Order of Sentinels, and thus the Long Vigil began.
Sentinels represent the unity of the races of Aerynth to hedge out all traces of evil. This selfless warrior charges directly into the center of the battle and calls out the All-Father's binding words, using his own body as a conduit of holy energy to smite all around him, sometimes even sacrificing his own life for the cause.
Allowing a Sentinel close to your group is dangerous, therefore most will try their best to StunRoot or Snare one that comes near. Be mindful and strategic on your approach.
Exalted Word of Binding bypasses defense and replenishes your mana. Use it as often as possible, or to expose a hiding rogue.
Do not underestimate Blessed Word of Binding or Pious Word of Binding. Unlike single-target debuffs, these can be easily maintained throught the entire battle.
Use Archonic Word of Binding to lower a healer's mana pool as you drain their mana. If they are not careful, they could run out quickly.
Be wary of the Assassin's Silence spell, as it will block a good deal of your abilities.
Divine Word of Binding (also called the "big bomb") is capable of dealing thousands of points of damage to the Sentinel and everyone around him. If he manages to cast it close to a stacked enemy group, the results will be devastating.
