Editing Dirae: the Kindly Ones (section)

== Watch ==

Though catgirls protect all boundaries, they generally focus on particular ones, in the same way that a brain surgeon focuses on brains but is still usually more qualified than the next guy to do any other medical stuff, and join organizations, called Watches, keep in contact with and aid others who protect the same threshold. That said, catgirls aren't big on being told what to do. The Watches are more like a group of people who keep in contact with each other than anything else, and though they lend aid, they don't take orders.

[[The Horizon Watch]]: Guardians of the boundary between day and night. The Watch is quite aware of vampires, but the Kindred are inherently beings of the night, and the duty of the Watches is not to destroy things minding their own business on their own side, but to deal with situations involving the border, whatever that may be. When vampires start using their ghouls and mortal contacts to influence the world of the day, however, things get... ::looks around nervously::  hairy. ::runs for cover:: Well, not for all of them. Some just try to regulate it.

They also frequently come in contact with the Day and Night Courts, in Changeling freeholds which possess such a system.

[[The Gauntlet Watch]]: Yeah, the werewolves have got this one, but do the catgirls care? The Gauntlet is still a boundary, you know, and the catgirls of this Watch consider it their duty to oversee the passage of spirits between this world and the Shadow, and keep things from getting out of hand.

[[The Mortality Watch]]: Guardians of the boundary between life and death, and this world and the Underworld. They take care of ghosts, or protect them, help the dying recover when they feel they can, and give comfort when they can't.

[[The Hedge Watch]]: Not the Changeling Hedge, but the hedges that once marked the edges of the villages. Their role has changed in modern nights, since there's usually not that many wolves in the woods anymore, since there are few large woods near cities, and even even fewer wolves, and most of the monsters are now inside the cities.

Accordingly, the Hedge Watch has been undergoing a bit of internal trouble for the past century, as some just pull back and deal with drifters, others abandon it, and many more seek to somehow change the duty of the Watch without changing the Watch itself.

[[The March Watch]]: A now mostly-defunct Watch, which focuses on the frontier, the boundary between civilization and the untamed wilds. Nowadays, this Watch is generally only found in extremely remote areas, and many of its members have joined the Hedge Watch, which always followed behind it as the frontier, wherever it was, moved ever onward.
