The Ashguard of the Imperium   Writ of Unity ______________________________________________ "For so long, our people have stood without centralized unity.  Under many different banners, under many different leaders... No more.  On this day, we stand united from the ashes of old warbands, orders and levies.  On this day arises The Ashguard, with one purpose.  The preservation of the Imperium." Ser Hakon, "The Shipwright," Ruric.  (14th of Sun's Smile, 1543). ________
