Seneschal
Seneschal is a title used for magically enhanced and mutated Castoran wildlife which the seers have bound with arcane chains of the All Seer to act as immortal guardians of Castora and its seer artifacts. The seneschals are assigned to different regions of Castora and are fiercely territorial, using minions of their respective species to aid them in their task: crustaceans for Kela, and gwyl for Gwyllian.[1] They can be calmed down if they suffer heavy injuries or if they are provided with enough seer artifacts. Injured seneschals appear to draw from Castora's abundant ley magic to heal themselves. Seneschals can only be freed from their eternal servitude if the All Seer's arcane chains binding their souls are severed.[2]

Trivia[edit]
- A seneschal was a high-ranking steward or majordomo in medieval Europe responsible for managing a noble's household, estate, and administrative affairs. Acting as the primary administrator, they often oversaw domestic staff, oversaw justice, and managed accounts, sometimes acting as governors or military commanders. The name is a calque of senior scholaris meaning "senior guard" in Late Latin.
