The Caerulean Guard

Hraunhirden (the hraunhird/hirden for short) also known as The Vrolgian Guard or The Vrolgian Order is an elite and secretive mercenary unit and religious order based in the great city of Porta Fiume on the western Vastallosi Coast, whose members serve as personal bodyguards of the Vrolgar Konung and Council. 
Hailing from Masgar-Vrolgar Fruila, these mercenaries serve as both bodyguards and protectors the cultural heritage of Fruila, effectively protecting the Fumian people groups's interest against subversive individuals and groups. Originally formed by Savii Myrknir Jarl, then Signoria, on LostCoastlines’s orders, these troops were chosen to be his personal bodyguards because of their nearly unwavering loyalty to him.
The primary role of Hraunhirden are as bodyguards, performing ceremonial duties and police work. When utilized on the battlefield, however, their elite status, coupled with their cunning strategies, insightful intelligence and quality equipment, make them a fearsome foe to face.
The organization was founded by Myrknir Jarl with the aim of "protecting the cultural heritage of Fruila", effectively protecting the Fruilan Savii's interest against subversive individuals and groups.

== Allotment system ==
In the months after the founding of the Sublime Kingdom Vrolgar, King Myrknir I and the Council implemented many political and military reforms that amounted to making the king an autocrat. The most significant reform was the establishment of the allotment system. Under this new system, Vrolgar citizens were to provide the crown with regiments of 30 soldiers, complete with weapons and uniforms. Either independently or as rotes (groups) of no more than five, citizens would contract with the crown, with each rote providing and supporting five soldiers, including giving the soldiers a home and a garden plot. Each cavalryman was additionally provided with a horse. In exchange for these burdensome policies, each rote was granted a reduction in taxes.
