Imperial Order of the Phoenix

The Order
The Imperial Order of the Phoenix is a highly prestigious order of knights that dates centuries old. The Order has always been the protector of the Royal Family but most importantly the Emperor and Crown Prince. Compared to other divisions and corps of the military the order is relatively small, but knights of the order receive the highest quality of training the empire has to offer. Generally knights are either stationed in the palace or on the Burning Phoenix but its not entirely uncommon for them to be assigned to other nobility of the empire. The Emperor might assign a guard section to an Archduke, Grand Duke or Duke as they are usually important enough for such protection.
