Orc Honor Guard
Six elite nagas who vanish alongside the sultana every season and reappear with her at the end.
Story so far
Princess Vinata's elite honor guard numbers six nagas, and they are as much a part of The Sultana's Disappearing Act as she is: when she rises from her nest pillows and walks through a door to nowhere, the entire six go with her. She has always reappeared missing exactly one guard — a consistency so reliable that the one season she came back missing two became the anomaly Rosetta built her theory on.
Rosetta's reading is that in that season the sultana left one guard behind as usual and the second died protecting her from demons during the Demon Eviction Event near the temple entrance to Club Vanquisher. A blood-splattered magical necklace belonging to one of the missing guards was found on the ground by a surviving crawler just before the collapse, near the demon event — the only sign, ever, of one of these guards being killed.
