The Sultana's Throneguard

The Throneguard are an elite order of knights, dedicated to the protection of Sultana Thessaly Zubiria. The Knights of the Throneguard are the strongest warriors in Al Zahar and unmatched in their loyalty to the Sultana.  The Throneguard have long served as the protectors of the Sultana, and have taken an even more active role with the latest in the Zubiria line. After the Sultana lost her mother at a young age, she has developed an intense fear that others may be plotting her death. As a result, she keeps her guards as close as possible, and has separated a wing of her palace to serve as their barracks, rather than their old one in the city below.

Structure

The Throneguard are led by 4 different Throneguard Captains, each incredibly skilled and dedicated. They are the most elite of all the Sultana's protectors, and served as the knights that guard her the most closely. They are also responsible for overseeing the training of new members of the Throneguard and ensuring the city watch is up to their standards.
The Throneguard take on new recruits in two ways. The first is in the form of squires, who are trained in combat in the guard barracks in the city below. When they become members of the Throneguard, they are moved to the barracks within Chai'tani Palace. The other way that the Throneguard recruits is through promoting members of the city watch that have distinguished themselves as highly skilled and valourous.
