Crimson Guard
Marked by their distinctive red shields and spear shafts, these warriors were named in honour of the most famous of kings out of Numas – Imrathepis, the Crimson King. There were five full regiments of Crimson Guard at the Battle of the Blight Water, and they were proud to form in front centre of King Phar's forces. This may not truly have been intended as an honour, for King Phar had loathed the Crimson King.[1a]
