Advocates were characters run by volunteer players with limited powers, designed to assist new players to Asheron's Call. They could be identified by their special shield called an Aegis. In lore terms they were called Strathelar's Order of Advocates, as seen on the Advocate and Sentinel statues located outside of [[Cragstone]], [[Hebian-To]], and [[Zaikhal]]. Besides their duties of helping newcomers, Advocates were also defenders of the realm. Elysa's Advocates were present and fighting at the battle of Cragstone, where Elysa, Asheron, and the Advocates destroyed an attacking Shadow Spire. They are now retired.
