Queensguard
The Queensguard are the elite of the elite amongst the noble dames from the Arandolian Southands. Chosen from the ranks of the very best fighters for their examplar devotion, impeccable discipline and unrelenting loyalty towards the Queen of the Amazons, they are the ones responsible for the safety and the well-being of the most important family in the entirety of the Amazon Nation, fending off any possible threat that may ever arise against the crown.
​
As such, they swear a solemn oath to bind their own lives and fates to their beloved Queen, sparing no expences in equipping themselves with the very best armour, weapons and steeds available to protect the head of the arandolian state. They train relentlessly to hone their skills to perfection, while their devotion is simply so great that their single purpose in life is to ultimately live and die for the woman wearing the arandolian crown. This means they are quite the fearsome foes in battle, who will never waver in doing whatever it takes to win. If the Queen ever decides to lead an army in person, her personal retinue of Queensguards will be certain to come with her, showing any enemy the sheer might of the Kaiserin's very best warrioresses.
​
But every living creature has their downsides and weaknesses. For a Queensguard, it is her almost blind attachment to honour and loyalty. They are completely and blindly faithful to the legitimate Queen of Arandolia. No matter if the monarch sitting on the throne is a generous and benevolent ruler or a cruel and unscrupulous tyrant who oppresses the people under a merciless iron fist, they will bow their heads and do whatever their are told to do. With no questions ever asked.
​
Fortunately for those steadfast elite soldiers, as well as for the entire people of Arandolia, the current Queen Althea Kaiserin the Wise is very well regarded as the fairest ruler to ever rule over the amazons. On the other hand, the sole heir to the very same throne is the fearsome Princess Samantha Kaiserin, and she is not even the shadow of her mother in terms of benevolence, wisdom and tolerance.
