Relicgardt

== Overview ==
The Relicgardt are the elite fighting force of the Reliquin Nation. There are eight institutions of the Relicgardt headquartered in Reliquie that compose the peacekeeping forces of the Reliquin Nation of Vailya.
=== The Whiteguard ===
The Whiteguard are the elite force of Relique. They wear sterling armor and wield powerful magic. Only a select number of Whiteguard are recognized at any point in time. An aspiring Whiteguard must defeat another Whiteguard in an official duel in order to be considered for admittance into the ranks of the order. Afterwards a current Whiteguard, generally the defeated party, is demoted and no longer party of the order. The constant competition to become Whiteguard leads to much strife within the ranks, but ensure that only the best that Reliquie has to offer carry the title of Whiteguard.
=== The Blackguard ===
While Reliquie's Whiteguard represent power and nobility, the Blackguard are seen as the cunning and unknown side of the government. Similar to the Whiteguard, only a select few members of the Blackguard are ever recognized. Unlike the Whiteguard, the duels of the Blackguard are to the death. A contest is declared between the aspiring Blackguard and the current target. Once the contest is declared, the entire region becomes a deadly game that the hopeful and the incumbent play.
The Whiteguard and Blackguard work closely together, with the Whiteguard acting as the face of the elite forces and the Blackguard as the support and intelligence forces.
=== The Grayguard ===
The largest fighting force of the Reliquin Nation. They serve are police, soldiers and enforces of the Reliquin Nation. The best among them seek to challenge the Whiteguard to take their places as form of promotion. Whiteguard who demote often demote to being Grayguard.
