Ideals and Objectives
The Sapphire Guard is an armed force comprising of lightborn individuals devoted to the defense of their race, as well as their empire. Formed in the aftermath of the Paxian invasion, this group of light elves, humans, dwarves, dorins, kattas, giants, and the like, are slowly forming into a powerful military unit, as well as an influential political union, that may one day become another clinched fist to fight under the Imperial Throne. Recently, their presence was made public by an article published in the Herald, and their numbers continue to grow as their existence is made known to the general public.
Units and Commanders (to date)
The Lauryllian Serrista Legion (OFFICIALLY UNAFFILIATED)
Cassius Drogba, Commander
While any alliance with The Sapphire Guard can never be confirmed for fear of political backlash, the chief commanding position within the Serrista Legion - held by Cassius Drogba who was appointed by Riconus, a very good friend of his - is definately utilized for auxillary assistance. What the Guard might be unable to attain (i.e. overwhelming artillery or mage capabilities), the Imperial Army might be able to provide, granted that their deployment is under just terms.
Black Bell Guard
Cencoris Roth'lero, Commander
Their existence has never been, nor will ever be, confirmed as part of the Aelyrian Imperial Legions, yet The Black Bell Guard has already played a large part in the construction of The Sapphire Guard. Standing to recover, eliminate, and destroy, this small group of highly-trained commandos repersent the elite of the Aelyrian Imperial Army, and their actions as a covert paramilitary group have already yielded significant successes.
The Crimson Tigers
Klyne Longgstom, Commander
Based out of Nexus Prime, the Crimson Tigers remain one of, if not the, largest and most powerful mercenary company in Arium Province. The Tigers are renowned for their fearlessness in any situation, with an experienced commander guiding its helm. On the battefield, these freelancing mercenaries turn into a mighty, unfied infantry force of more than a thousand soldiers, drawing from eachother's raw intestinal fortitude, and plunging into combat even against the most daunting of foes.
The Skulldrinkers
Ivy Deepforge, Commander
Based out of Frigid River, these group of rogues are aptly titled, with each warrior always carrying a dried bone chalice gripped to his or her person... It is not a play on words at all. Ruthless and battle-hardened, these savage beserkers are enlisted for operations that most would be too sane to even consider undertaking.
The People's Sapphire Regiments
Gabrielle Tyl'lulain, High Commander
Zebno Brytas, Commander of the Nexus Prime Regiment
Camilla Matrona, Commander of the Portshire Regiment
Without a doubt, The People's Sapphire Regiments are the most significant aspect of the Sapphire Guard, both in their size and symbolism. Unlike most other units of the Guard, PSRs comprise of everyday citizens ready to fight, and even die, for something they believe in. On a regular brightening, they might be labourers, merchants or entertainers, but when the call to arms is sounded, they become members of a mighty militia, standing up for the common citizenry of the Empire. Every member of the Regiments has been trained under the tutelage of Imperial Army instructors to function as a single unit, and with the word of the Sapphire Guard spreading, regiments have been formed across the Empire, ready on a moment's notice to stand fast along the breach of freedom.
