The 
Sentinels of Light are an ancient order of hunters originally formed on the 
Blessed Isles. Its members are currently scattered across Runeterra defending it from the undying spirits of the 
Shadow Isles.
Lore
Crest of the Sentinels of Light
The Sentinels of Light are an ancient sacred order that could be traced back its origins to the Blessed Isles, where the Black Mist originated. Currently a group of individuals that defend Runeterra from the undying spirits of the Shadow Isles. Known places defended by the Sentinels include 
Bilgewater, 
Demacia, Holdrum, Holnek, 
Ionia, and the Serpentine Delta. The Sentinels have established multiple strongholds across Runeterra in order to defend each region from harrowings.
Each hunter of the order is given a relic-stone pistol as their main weapon for hunting. A Sentinel uses the weapon, by channeling their souls into light. Lucian's pistols were originally wielded by his father Urias and by Senna. Senna now wields a relic canon made out of various relic-stones from deceased Sentinels.
While inside 
Thresh's lantern, Senna freed some Sentinels' souls, who possessed lost knowledge of the Ruination's origins, and of her curse. Now, their goal is to find the 
Ruined King and stop him at any cost.
When the Ruined King returned and unleashed harrowings across Runeterra, multiple new Sentinels were recruited to fight back against the darkness.

Locations
Sentinel Outposts
After the Ruination of the Blessed Isles, the Sentinels set up multiple strongholds across Runeterra to stand as beacons of light and hope against the growing threat of darkness. Inside them include caches of stone weapons and stone tablets that allow Sentinels to communicate with other bases. There is also the Worldstone, an enchanted map that allows the Sentinels to track the Black Mist across Runeterra and teleport between Sentinel bases.
- Sentinel Headquarters: Main outpost of the order. It was previously attacked by the undead, with only one survivor remaining when Lucian and Senna came back.
- Map Room: Located in the Sentinel headquarters, the map room is used as the main strategic coordination center of the order. In the center of the room there is a large white stone map with several continents, archipelagos, and islands of the northern hemisphere of Runeterra. The white stone is able to turn black in live-time in areas where the black mist is attacking.
- Sanctum of Lost Light: A room located inside the main sentinel headquarters, it contains weapon relics and other artifacts of deceased sentinels. Senna frequently visited this place to ponder about mortality and her duty as a sentinel.
Culture
Clothing
Most sentinels follow a specific dress code, white and black cloth with gold trimmings and geometric accessories, including the crest of the Sentinels. Akshan is mentioned to have broken several dress codes of the order with his preferred choice of garments.
Gwen is the tailor for the new generation of Sentinels as well as being responsible for styling their hair.[1]
Tapestry
Every deceased Sentinel gets a long tapestry, made from threads and magic, depicting their their final moments. Lenasha had one such tapestry showing her with her relic shield defending the living from an onslaught of wraiths before she died. Similarly, Senna had her own tapestry, with arms crossed over her chest and with her eyes glowing with an eerie green light. It is unclear to what extent the tapestries are enchanted, with Senna believing hers changed after she came back as an undead.
Weapons
The weapons of the Sentinels are made from stones of the Blessed Isles, holding the arcane power of light. These weapons aren't activated by force or trigger but by the sheer force of righteous will of the user, channeling the light of their soul to push back the darkness. The relic weapons of the Sentinels are the only known defense against the Black Mist and its creatures of darkness.
Lucian. They were carved from the same stone and have been passed down through generations of Sentinels. They once belonged to Senna and Lucian's father Urias before he took up the weapons in their honor.[2] Other notable Sentinel relics include Senna's relic cannon and Akshan's Absolver. Senna's cannon is made from the weapons of fallen Sentinels. While imprisoned in Thresh's lantern, Senna freed the souls of her fellow Sentinels and collected their stones to create her cannon. The Absolver once belonged to Sentinel Shadya and has the power to revive anyone who was recently killed by it's target, if it kills them. It has since been modified and is in the possession of Akshan upon Shadya's murder.

The Oath
Sentinels of Light Glass Mural
I will not run from darkness.
I will light the way with a steadfast heart,
And face each shadow with a ready weapon
As a beacon, a warrior, a Sentinel,
I defense myself, my fellows, and my world.
May we stand together in the light, or fall in darkness."[3]
The Code
| “ | "This cape is not up to Sentinel Code. But, neither is the grappling hook, nor the boomerang." |
| — Akshan
| |
|
The Sentinels have a code that regulates their appearence, weapon usage and general behavior.
Akshan went against multiple instructions, which has become one of the reasons of him separating from the rest of the Order.
