Overview
The Queensguard was formed by Duchess Elizabeth Kane, as the group of men assigned to the defence of her daughter Katherine, and as a guide to her future as Duchess(And later, Queen), and the whole of the royal castle in Queensport. Taking from the old tradition of Anhald, the Kaltstaat Queensguard is made up of the same organization of the previous guards of the Kaiser, meaning that the Queensguard is made up of two knights, and a single commander. While the Queensguard is not directly under the control of the Marshal, it is not uncommon for Knights to become involved in the military needs of Kaltland. The Queensguard is also responsible for the Guards sent to defend the castle, being directly responsible for their command.
