Royal Guard VIII

Royal Guard VIII
The Royal Guard VIII, is a specialist task force an exclusive army corps in use in the Tsardom of Vulgria-Transylvania (TVT. Mainly for home defence like all other Royal Guard. However this task force unlike it's counter parts is in times of war sent into the field first to weak defences of the enemy or hunt down stragglers.

Through out history this task force has been the subject of many historical accounts. Due to the nature of all Royal Guard, all members are exclusively Vampires. The task force still uses tactics from the 14th century when it was created, same weapons and still ride mainly on horse back, for the reason of stealth they now however have developed strong metallic looking armour but very light weight.

Famous documents from enemy soldiers and generals document them as violent, that they inspire fear once they are sighted. True as in the following quote from an Ottoman general in 15th century. ''I saw them, with their black menacing armour, their eyes cold and with an evil spirit trapped in the middle of the eye. I felt my heart shatter as I had heard many stories of woe. They ride heigh on horse back, the horses themselves evil and black, they move with such vigour, such speed that alone brings fear. They use long silver swords, their accuracy with them is incredible, one slice of the sword and my men fall in pain and if my eyes do not decisive me, once a man falls from their blades of death, they rise again but fight for the mysterious enemy, and so here comes my end a knight in black...''

It is only known that King Halloon I of Vulgria was at first a knight of this order but this would seem contradictory with both origins of Vampirism with the Vulgrian people, so this should not be seen as fact.
