The Fleur de Lys-Longships Guard (FLG) is an armed force for the protection and glory of the King of the Elwynnese Union. It is by law also charged with several additional duties and functions including, but not limited to, the policing of the Kingly City of Eliria, the Royal City of Avaldsnes, and the Royal City of Hyfrost.

History

The Fleur de Lys-Longships Guard was founded in 1623 AN by the decree of the Steward of Elwynn, Hallbjörn Haraldsson of the Houses of Ayreon-Kalirion and of the Descendants of Freyja. Until the re-establishment of the Union Defence Force by the aforesaid Steward of Elwynn in 1629 AN, it was only the formal armed body in the Elwynnese Union. The FLG was for some time, until the re-establishment of the Cudgellers and the institution of City Watches in major cities later in 1623, also the only police service in the Flower of the North.
