Born and bred for war and battle, the honor guards fear few, if any, living or dead. They thrive in the battlefield seeking glory and honor though few ever seek to create rifts of war and see it grow. Few of them can say they live a quiet life, and even fewer can say that they had a family to come back to after the battle. Always Recruiting. The honor guard are always looking for men and women to join them, all are allowed no matter their race or religion as long as they hold their allegiance to their current lord. |
