Eithnar that is from the Stars or Kingsguard. Protector of kings. Rothaur, King, is the Sun, so the Eithnar are his dim companions. An Eithnar is picked when he is 10 for his beauty and aptitude. His penis and testicles are surgically removed because of the belief that a superior Kingsguard serve only the King, not lust and want of family. The boy is renamed and replaced in the care of the Eithnarian Conservatory, where he is trained in the art of killing, martial arts and military science. Because he is the constant companion of the King, he is also taught court etiquette, music, dance and grooming. He is an ambassador, a general, a court musician and dancer, and also a cold-blooded killer and assassin when the King demands.
