The Honor Guard of Summerhall

 

History

 

The origins of the Honor Guard stem from the events preceding the Duke’s War, when Lord Marshal Augustus d'Amaury’s nascent noble house was granted a considerate holding in the former fiefdom of Adria. The hardened bannermen of the Lord’s personal retinue remained staunch servants to the strong leader, and continued to serve him in the newly formed county of Amaury as the first of his prestigious entourage. Garrisoned alongside their liege within the imposing keep of Summerhall, the veterans were offered service by the Lord Marshal- to form an Honor Guard with the goal of maintaining order in the county and protecting the House d’Amaury if need be.

 

This company of stalwart and honorable men consists mainly of the experienced cavalrymen and halberdiers that saw service alongside the Lord Marshal during the Duke’s War, though apt newcomers in search of virtuous employ are encouraged to join the ranks of the capable band. Serving the House d’Amaury as Summerhall’s peacekeepers and their liege lord’s elite bannermen, the Honor Guard is tasked with maintaining order in times of internal and external turbulence.

 

Role in Amaury

 

Since the birth of the intrepid House d’Amaury, the Honor Guard have been charged with protecting the County of Amaury and ensuring stability over their Lord’s holdings. Patrolling the burgh- oft on horseback - the brave men of Summerhall watch over their lands with a wary gaze, protecting the denizens of Amaury from ruthless bandits and savage marauders.

 

The men of the Honor Guard are also graced with the task of guaranteeing their the safety of their lieges,the honorable aristocracy of House d’Amaury. Acting as an armed escort and guard force when the need arises, the soldiers garrisoned within Summerhall’s walls serve the Lord Marshal and his kinfolk with zeal and ardor, upholding the virtues of their commander while protecting his family.

 

Comprised mostly of the tested veterans of the Duke’s War, the Honor Guard is gracious to bear a large number of weathered combatants under its service. The brave footsoldiers of a vicious and bloody conflict, the Lord Marshal’s banner force boasts a capable number of courageous and valiant combatants who are well-suited to fighting wars with skillful organization and unfaltering loyalty.
