The Sun Guard

The Sun Guard refers to the overall military force of the Ar'Tel'Quessir Empire. It is divided into essentially three unofficial factions. There is the Royal Guard, which protects Empress Vaeldora. It is separate from the regular army which primarily focuses on regular law enforcement. Finally there is the naval faction. Usually people just refer to all of these as the Sun Guard, occasionally specifying the Royal Guard, if they're referring to the Empress's guards.
