The New Scorpions

            The Scorpions, or the 'Akronas' in Vieroccan is the Emperor's castle guard. They are a fighting core specially picked by their leader Blane Rouchon (pictured in the middle). 

The Akronas were established in 730AV when the Emperor disbanded the Empire's formal military in favour of warrior tribes. Oberajhi founded the Akronas himself and they were infamous all through the south and the far east. Oberajhi crusaded with them for the first year and then left his bastard brother in command. His brother was more reckless with the tribe and word reached the Emperor a year later that they had killed civilians in the Sea of Gold, shortly after securing the territory from Orc occupation.On Blane's counsel, Oberajhi disbanded the tribe and gave the name to Blane's initiative. Since coming from his home in the West to serve the Emperor, Blane has wanted to form a company exclusively of white men. 

When Oberajhi's brother betrayed his trust, he became wary of his people and their ambitions of power. He could no longer be protected by a Vieroccan guard. There were many Kalaroccan inhabitants of the Southern plains, but he felt that they, and their mixed-race descendants, could be swayed to betray him. He came to the conclusion that the only men he would truly trust to be armed in his palace would be men that had no claim to any of his lands. He and Blane picked and trained mercenaries and peasants from the West and bought their loyalty with promises of a better life. They are incredibly loyal because they are very well cared for. The soldiers live in the palace barracks with all the luxuries they could ask for but they are forbidden from leaving the grounds unless the Emperor leaves. This is to prevent their contact with possible rivals of the Emperor. To join the guard, a warrior has to serve in the Eastern raiding parties for two years and show incredible skill and loyalty to the Emperor.

At present, even some citizens of the the lands formerly in Thronfeld have joined the raiding parties to escape their life of occupation. This is worrisome to the Young King Davian, as it seems Thronfeld's heart for resistance is fading.
