A military organization which command vicious monsters in combat.
The Monster Guard is a coalition of casters, artificers, experts, and others devoted to the understanding and utilization of the varying creatures that populate the planar spectrum. Long-term, they fill a subterranean menagerie of kaiju-esque uncontrollable monsters to release when The Nightmare inevitably reaches The City gates. Until then, they have two goals: the first is to explore new planes for creatures of unique potential. The second is to catalogue, study, breed, and find use for the varying creatures they discover in order to better The City as a whole.
Besides being useful in defense, the faction also harvests a number of poisons, toxins, extracts and useful material components from their menagerie which are used in The City or sold to the outside.
