A watch post needs someone worth stopping for.

Oathbound gives your Forge of Kingdoms server five animated NPCs with a quieter kind of presence. Station the archers along a woodland road, put the frost-blue guardian at a northern gate, or give your archive a curator who looks like he has read every book in it.

Demo

They work as recognizable faces for the places and stories you build. Each character has a regular idle, a second idle with more personality, and a greeting for players who come closer.

Meet the Oathbound

• Archer — a pale-haired forest archer with a green outfit and an arrow flourish.

• Archerman — a green-clad marksman for a ranger outpost or practice range.

• Guardian of the Cold — an ice-blue sentinel with frosty details and effects.

• Instructor — a red-coated trainer for your academy or training yard.

• Senior Curator — an elder in long robes for an archive, museum or scholar's hall.

15 animations, with the NPC setup included

Every NPC has idle, idle2 and wave. The supplied MythicMobs configurations handle the idle variations and greetings when players approach. Gestures play once, then the character returns to the normal idle instead of stacking animations on top of it.

The NPCs stay where you place them and cannot be damaged. The README includes individual spawn commands and persistent spawner commands for all five.

Includes 10 voice clips: one secondary-idle clip and one greeting for each NPC. Volume-balanced, positional audio plays once with the gesture, without overlapping other gestures.

Inside the download

• Five textured ModelEngine blueprints in editable Blockbench format.

• MythicMobs NPC and animation configurations.

• A README with setup steps, model IDs and commands.

More faces for your kingdom
