Provincial Guard

The Sapphire Legion was a unit of distinction among the Phoenix Clan in charge of the defense of the sacred City of Treaties, Nikesake. The unit changed its name to Provincial Guard, to make it clearly distinct to the newer elite unit called the Legion of the Sapphire Chrysanthemum within the hierarchy of the Imperial families.

Creation

Provincial Guard
Changed the name to Provincial Guard avoided confusion, and their members were well known for their courtly tendencies. These sentries and yojimbo were also trained in matters of etiquette.
