The Royal Guard

The Royal Guard are private guards for the Royalty of Morrowind and other regions of Monarchy rule. They operate seperately from both the Imperial Legion and the Ordinators, and can mainly be found in or around Mournhold. They have sworn and oath to protect King Helseth and where King Helseth goes, the royal guard won’t be far away.

History
The Royal Guard has existed since the time of the royalty of Morrowind. The Royal Guard have sworn to serve the King of Morrowind and protect him from all harm. There are only two ranks: guard and captain, and the current captain is Tienius Delitian. They all wear the distinctive red Royal Guard Armor and the ebony sword called King’s Oath, a sword that bears deadly curses that kill thieves and traitors.

King Helseth chooses the guards himself, selecting only the most loyal and skilled warriors from all of Tamriel. Some of the guards have been with Helseth since his time in Wayrest. Tienius Delitian has been with him even longer, since Helseth was a child in the Emperor's court.

Despite their fearsome reputation, Almalexia was somewhat disdainful of the Guards and claimed that Her Hands were the most powerful warriors in all of Mournhold. Gavas Drin, also of the temple, describes them as "Young King Helseth's handpicked thugs" and doesn't believe any guards other than the High Ordinators are necessary in Mournhold.

Holdings
They go where King Hlaalu Helseth goes. They currently reside in King Helseth’s palace in Raven Rock.

Military
The Royal Guard are the skilled warriors of the royalty of Morrowind. They are considered by some to be Helseth's personal thugs, they are equipped by Helseth himself given the symbolic red Royal Guard Armor that is symbolic of the Guards. Upon their selection they are also given their ebony long sword 'Kings Oath' these blades have become famous amongst the enemies of the Royal Guard. Their numbers are controlled by the King himself and recently he has increased the numbers of new recruits.
