The Red Guard
The Red Guard is the only unit of the Thardic army permitted within Coranan's city walls. They consider themselves the Republic’s finest soldiers, while most legionnaires think of them as puffed-up peacocks.
Officially, they defend the city, but in practice, they are concerned with protecting senators, often only those they favor.
Structure
Commanded by the Warden of Coranan, a senatorial appointment is often granted to a senior Red Guard officer. This position is currently held by Senator Azikain Gelber.
Membership requirements to join are set high. However, those in power or influence have occasionally brought positions, but legions ranks cannot be purchased, unlike the other republics. They are gained entirety on merit, determined by senior captains.
Public Agenda
Ensure Security of the City of Coranan.
Protect the Thardic Senate and primary government institutions.
Provide Security to the Senators and their immediate families.
