History of Royal Awoken Guard

Overview

The Royal Awoken Guard, also called the Queensguard, is the personal bodyguard of Mara Sov, Queen of the Reef. One of the seven Paladins commands the unit, which works closely with Uldren Sov, the Master of Crows.

Role

The Guard protects the Queen from immediate danger and defends the Reef against wider threats. Its notable members include Petra Venj and the late Yasmin Eld, an Awoken Paladin who led the Guard. She died at the Battle of Saturn, aboard the Queen's Ketch, when Oryx fired the Dreadnaught's main weapon and destroyed the Awoken armada.

The Guard also repelled an assassination attempt by the Queenbreakers during Skolas' rebellion, at heavy cost to both sides.
