i might have said this before, but now that you can have harpies as wayfort guards, I'll say it again.
I want Alarune Effigies as wayfort guards. The Alarune was your first "Real" conquest, and the one that let you open the doors to the Wayfort in the first place. it just feels right to me that the Effigies are "Your" people, while the Elves still feel more like they serve Ryn, and the Harpies feel more like they serve the Wingleader.
I don't know much about Alarune morphology here, but given the different kinds of Effigy we see, i could easily see her as being able to make different castes of Effigy on a whim, I'm thinking something like how Ants have Workers and Soldiers and Majors and the like. So I'm imagining taller, more physically powerful Effigy guards equipped with weapons and armour that could be either metal or plantmatter.
Since the Alarune is a corrupted entity, i could easily see her offering to make one of two kinds of guard at least. Either hyper sexualized guards that are more likely to seduce and subdue their way through any invaders, or standard military-style guards, who don't have (as much of) their standard sister's libidos and are more like Daliza in terms of personality and combat prowess.
I know Effigies can already work as maids, and that's great. I'd just like to see more of them in the wayfort. They're the people i conquered and took in as my own. Everyone else kind of showed up on someone else's orders, and usually have their own home somewhere else. The Effigies live at the fort, it just makes sense that they'd be able to help defend it.
