Golden Guard

The Golden Guard, also called the Golden Guardians, were a company of knights who served as the royal bodyguards of the king of Monterria.

They were mainly a stationary guard unit, rather than a mobile force, though were sometimes seen acting as a mobile guard when travelling with the king. They were headed by a Captain of the Guard, who was chosen by the king from nobility or high military ranks.

Appearance
The members of the Golden Guard wear gilded helms and long red cloaks edged in gold satin. Their weapons included longswords with "beautiful scabbards and jeweled hilts", and daggers with jeweled pommel and inlaid goldwork on the blades. Their shields are made of heavy steel, painted with a golden lion of the face. They are typically better-trained and held in higher regard than normal Monterrian guards.
