Throneguard
The Throneguard are a clan of Dragonborn. Dragonborn are quite rare, and their inherent power and lineage have always commanded respect, yet certain clans are far more respected than others.1
Guardians of the royal blood
Throughout history the most elite warriors of the Throneguard clan have served as close protectors to the emperors and other members of the royal family, and they can often be found standing guard in many halls of the Marble Palace.1
After the tragic death of Conrad the Conqueror, the Archon Academy created construct guardians that are tireless, unyielding and ever vigilant. Even so, the Throneguard clan is still known as the honourable protectors of the royal blood, and many nobles have spent their childhood with a Throneguard shadowing them as a silent guardian.1
Fighting tradition
The clan has its own traditional fighting style. Zardrak Throneguard, who takes pride in being a member of the clan although he left it at the age of fifteen to forge his own path, blends that style with the divine blessings bestowed on him by Alarath.2
