Impyritum

The Imperial Guard of the Casorian Monarch or the Impyritum were a faction of the Casorian Legion tasked specifically with the protection of the Monarch of the Casorian Empire and to a lesser degree his immediate family, though the Consort and Heir were protected by their own dedicated regiments. The idea of protection for a monarch came to a forefront after the assassination of Empress Kenna in the reign of the Jullan Dynasty. The faction was usually led by the High Commander of the legion or the younger brother of the monarch, though the latter soon fell out of fashion due to the obvious intrigue opportunities.
