Musketeer

Musketeer

   A Dashing swashbuckler with a penchant for the dramatic, the Musketeer is a valiant champion of individuality, a deadly highwayman, or just some nut with a floppy feathered hat and two pistols, and everything in between. Iconic and deadly, none can escape the antics!The Musketeers form a junior unit, initially of roughly company strength, of the military branch of the Royal Household for the nobility of Kithonia and Derwynd. They were created as response to the changes of the war where traditional heavy mounted knights proved ineffective and could not make use of the changes in weapon technology. Musketeers were trained in battle both on foot as infantry and on horseback as dragoons. They were made up of the best and brightest swords and marksman of the younger sons and daughters from noble families whose older children served in more serious roles

As one of the less senior units in the Royal Guard, the Musketeers were not closely linked to the royal family at first. Traditional bodyguard duties were in fact performed by the appointed knights. However The Musketeers soon gained a reputation for boisterousness and fighting spirit because the only way for social and career advancement was excelling at their task.
Their fighting spirit gained royal favor for the Musketeers and they were frequently seen at court. From their establishment the Musketeers wore blue cloak-like cassocks, lined with silver embroidery and flamboyant hats. Musketeers were civilian dress under their cassocks, according to personal taste and means as individuality was encouraged among them.
