The problem with the mother guards is the same as the consort - the most beneficial bless would be a N/E and that is retardedly expensive on the available pretenders. The only economical blessings would be astral and water, and those aren't really gonna help an average defense, high encumbrance, low availability sacred. I just can't imagine mother guards being more than fodder for triton knights even if I could somehow swing a triple blessing. I guess an astral blessing would help against mind blasters, but I really don't see fielding enough cap only sacreds to do anything more than put up a speed bump. They're not exactly Vans...

Also not sure how taking a lich is gonna help much. Without any national death mages I can't see being any sort of death power until way, way too late to do any good.
