Regalian House Guard Order

[AntonVoron]

Introduction
The Regalian Order of House Guards serves as a loosely joined collection of Noble House Guards, registered under State apparatus, to allow armor and weapons rights to the many Guardsmen of the peerage. House Guard Chapters are not bound under the command of the Order, but must abide by a code of loyalty to the Emperor, The Empire, and The Unionist faith as a whole. ​

• Guardsmen and their masters may not conspire, plot, or otherwise attempt to harm the Crown and his subjects. To do so is to forfeit all rights as a House Guard Chapter
• Guardsmen and their masters may not break Regalian Law, or in anyway break the sanctity of State Law within the Empire. To do so is to forfeit all rights as a House Guard Chapter
• Guardsmen and their masters may not use their privileges in any manner outside of self-defense. To do so is to forfeit all rights as a House Guard Chapter
• Guardsmen and their masters may never usurp the rights of a Regalian Charter, whether this be law enforcement, or otherwise. To do so is to forfeit all rights as a House Guard Chapter
