Noble guardsmen, outta the way!
Hooded Empire Noble Guards are elite guards of the United Cities and Traders Guild. They are most commonly found guarding the nobles of these factions. They accompany their lords and ladies inside their Noble House and outside in the streets, shouting down any peasant who dares cross the noble's path, and attacking any that doesn't obey.
These elite guards can also be found in the wilds, led by Noble Captains and guarding Noble Hunters who search for prey, whether it be man or beast.
Lady Sanda's retinue is composed of these guards as well as unique, highly well-equipped variants of this guard.
