The Caerulean Guard

Hraunhirden (the hraunhird or just hird/hirden for short) is an elite mercenary unit based in the great city of Porta Fiume on the western Vastallosi Coast, whose members serve as personal bodyguards of the Fruilan Savii and council.

Hailing from Masgar-Hraunhuldic Fruila, these mercenaries serve as both bodyguards and occasional shock troops used by the Fumians. Originally formed by Signoria Myrknir Jarl, on LostCoastlines’s orders, these troops were chosen to be his personal bodyguards because of their nearly unwavering loyalty to him.

The primary role of Hraunhirden are as bodyguards, performing ceremonial duties and police work. When utilized on the battlefield, however, their elite status, coupled with their cunning strategies, insightful intelligence and quality equipment, make them a fearsome foe to face.
