Crèche protectors
Crèche Matrons
A Crèche Matron works within the crèche as a nurse and general caregiver of the children of the community. They are all women, as the female warriors who leave their children here can not breast feed them, the crèche matron will. These women become attached to the children, but not so attached that the mothers have any worries. Crèche matrons are usually unmarried. No one knows how they can continually lactate.
These women are also the last line of defense of the children. When the Crèche Guards fail, it falls to the Crèche Matrons to protect the children. Sometimes they use spells that make the children silent and invisible. That does not mean that they will remain passive. They are fierce fighters as well. They will do whatever it takes to make sure that the communities next generation are safe.
One would think that being around children all day would make sex that last thing on these people’s minds. The opposite is usually true. They are more libidinous, and when coupling they are far more sensual. In societies where marriage is not the norm or not so formal, they are highly prized lovers.
Crèche Guard
A crèche guard protects the children of the community. These men and women are trained to do whatever it takes to make sure that the children are safe. They are dirty fighters when it comes to tactics; however their kills are mostly bloodless. This is to insure that the children remain as innocent as possible for as long as possible. They will learn the ills of life soon enough, but hopefully not this soon. Protecting the children in every aspect are these peoples lives. Some of them get so protective that abusive parents know their wrath.
Crèche guards have personalities that range from strictly authoritarian to something akin to being a favorite uncle or aunt that makes the children laugh. Some are great entertainers, juggling or just telling silly jokes.
Crèche Guards are an offshoot of crèche matrons. As such, they are just as libidinous and sensual as the matrons.
Tutor Defenders
These men and women are somewhere in between the matrons and the guards. They teach the older children in the crèche and are part of the crèche’s defensive force.
All of these people have an instinctual need to protect any child. If one is captured and placed amongst the children of the captors, they will not be able to leave the children unguarded.
A story…
Xyrella wiped the blood and gore from her sword while sitting on a rock. The battle with the orcs had been fierce, but they kept them back. She heaved herself up to get new orders from the commander. What she really wanted to do was to go home and retrieve her daughter from the crèche. Upon further reflection, she may just leave Mordira there for the night when she gets back. She had no concerns over her daughter’s safety. They have crèche matrons and guards. Not much could get through them.
Back at the stronghold however, another battle had raged. Fralk, the orog in charge of the maneuver that put the fighting force of the stronghold out of position allowing him to take the place, strode though the hallways. The sounds of battle were everywhere, but it was heaviest around the children. Those bastards would not give easily. Some of them who were thought to be to frail to be a bother turned out to be the most dangerous. One old granny killed five of his men with a volley of magical missiles, and a walking “stick” seared four more of his men with a flattened plane of fire.
He was very perplexed since he could not find the hostages he needed to get the humans to give him everything he wanted. Where were the children? He couldn’t find them anywhere. He was frustrated, and in his frustration he absently kicked the foot of a dead orc. He looked at the body and couldn’t find the way the orc died.
He heard a moan behind him. He turned to see who it was. It was a human male with a wicked looking weapon. Fralk vaguely remembered something about some sort of guard that these humans had. Something to do with their children. He decided he wanted to questions this one, so he had some men tie the human up to take back to the question later.
When he heard the alarm that the humans were returning, he grabbed up the unconscious human, and the orcs all retreated.
