Janissaria

The generic term for the Elite warriors in service to Jaedinar's Four Grand Royal Houses.
==Description==
Differing from Family to family in actual form and function, they are all psuedo-slaves to the their families. All have a certain brand that they are to display on their shoulders and hips, which displays rank and faction loyalty.
Historically, they were splintered from the historical Janissaria, who were merely heavy infantry that usually made up the center lines of their formation. They were divided amongst the four families when they began to share power. They used very long spears and were heavily armored. Their dense formations were troubling to most of their contemporaries and hard to break in pitched battle. After their division, they started down different evolutionary ladders, so to say.
They wear unique uniforms, and are led by either an older and experienced relative of the ruler or a specially appointed slave.
