The Greatswords Of Káhn



The Greatswords of Káhn (Pron. Carn) are the official Royal guard prior to the Year 1900 IC. After that year they were only ever used for ceremonial purposes or in dire need to defend the Imperial family.

History
The Greatswords of Káhn were one of Initial tribes to join with the Boh'Mar in Military Union. The first ever account of the Greatswords was in 204 BE. The Greatswords, so named for their use of 2.5 metre broadswords, were commanded by a great warrior of immense power across his lands, named Tezchuko Veramuran of Káhn. When the tribes merged with Boh'Mar, the Greatswords swore to defend the ruler.

From then until the year 1900 IC, the Greatswords served as the Emperor's elite guard. But in 1900 IC when a new set of stewards came to power they framed the leader of the Greatswords, and had him beheaded. This brought shame on the Greatswords and so they receeded into the shadows, and from then on only took on a ceremonial role, but only to please the stewards. Infact the Greatswords prepared their men to defend the Emperor when the time came.

Numbers
The Greatswords have always been one of the smaller military groups on Rynrakem, as of 3270 IC the Greatswords have a total of 16 men.
