The New Praetorian Guard

lat_the_new_praetorian_guard_advancein_game/common/advances/frankokratia.txt:474

Evolving from the old Varangian tradition, our modern guard consists of professional Catholic mercenaries from across Europe, primarily French veterans and Swiss pikemen. These men are bound to the Emperor not by land or title, but by gold and a shared Crusader identity, serving as an iron fist against disloyal feudal barons. This standing force ensures that the Emperor's will is absolute, providing a stable core for the army that is immune to the whims of the high nobility.
