You see etched steel polished to a mirror sheen, purple trim stitched tight along his tabard. The helm bears a thick plume, armor lined with gold filigree. His sword hangs low, grip wrapped in deep violet leather.
Royal Guard Veterans are elite soldiers with decades of service, recognized by purple-accented armor and senior command privileges. They mentor younger guards, lead royal processions, and are entrusted with inner sanctum security. Many are knighted, bearing personal crests alongside royal insignia. Their authority rivals that of minor nobles.
Royal Guards protect monarchs, royal family members, and sacred spaces within palaces or citadels. Selected for loyalty, discipline, and combat skill, they wear ornate armor and follow strict ceremonial protocols. Beyond ceremony, they serve as elite fighters, bodyguards, and last-resort defenders should the royal line come under direct threat.
