ELITE ORDER Of AURELUM
The Aurelum Honor Guard
The Aurelum Honor Guard IS the most elite combat unit in all of Aurelum. This Sanctum reports directly to the Vela Prime, and is led by the Vela Prime alongside the Hand-Selected Commander of the Guard.
Their purpose lies in many fields — protecting the Vela Prime, Vela Paragon, and the Vela Ascendants, as well as shifting the tide of any battle drastically. They take the Vow of Silence to honor their old selves and recognize that they are born anew.
This Elite Unit is honored consistently — they are mentioned in almost every Rite and Ritual, and are revered by all. They are the Epitome of Aurelum Battle, serving as both its Sovereign Protectors and Crushing Executioners. Being an Honor Guard is both a Choice and an Honor earned through Arduous Toil and Bloodshed.
