Adeptus Imperium

"All roads lead to this. For the Emperor!" - Constantin Villers, Adeptus of the Adeptus Imperium.
==At a Glance==
The Adeptus Imperium were the offensive contingent of the Kingdom of Kirkdom as well as the personal bodyguards of Lord Kirk. Formed after the Battle of Emerald Dawn, the Imperium was created as a response to the damage done to Kirkdom during Sanilla's Warforged rebellion and the Adeptus Custodes' (the defensive ministry) inability to combat it it. Also known as "The Golden Legion" the Imperium would become Kirkdom's primary military force against threats abroad and at home. With their powerful combination of hardened armor (designed by studying the Warforged husks) and the intenstive physical and mental training, a single battlemind of the Imperium could easily stand toe-to-toe with a horde of Orcs or a lesser Dragon.
===History===
Originally the personal bodyguards of the Kirk family, the Adeptus Imperium were initially a group of knights with exceptional training. After the events of Emerald Eyes of Kirkdom, the Imperium were blessed with psionic powers granted by Lord Adrian Kirk, but only served in the lesser capacity of envoys and personal bodyguards. 
Afterr the Battle of Emerald Dawn, in which Sanilla's forces came dangerously close to confronting their King, the Adeptus Imperium were overhauled by lead Adeptus Constantin Villers. A veteran of The Necrotic War, Constantin had served as the primary bodyguard to Kirk's father, King Kirk XII, and had been entrusted with ensuring his son's ascent to greatness. Recognizing that defending again threats at home, primarily the domain of the Adeptus Custodes, Constantin was granted permission by Lord Kirk to refit the Imperium was a deadly army that could ensure Kirkdom's prosperity by taking the battle abroad.
===Outlook and Training===
Each member of the Adeptus Imperium is a psionically-blessed human with extensive military training. Sharing a telepathic kinship with the other members of the Imperium (and Kirkdom, at large) the Imperium function strongly together as a unit, making use of their communicative bond. With this said, individuality was highly promoted as acts of valor in Kirkdom's name were both encouraged, and rewarded. This emphasis on the individual's place in the whole of Kirkdom was unique, intended to add a greater sense of personal stakes in Kirkdom's endeavours rather than succumb to the pride of military parade.
Trained in both the act of assassination -- to counter attempts on their God-King's life as well as put an end to other's lives -- an Imperium soldier spends a great deal of their time sparring with other members of their order, both physically and in telepathic skirmishes. On the battlefield, the members of the Adeptus Imperium are outfitted in heavy gold armor which could deflect even the heaviest of blows. A powerful mind with a near-impenetrable armor made the soldiers of the Adeptus Imperium fierce champions of humanity -- and fearsome combatants for its enemies.
