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. The FLG is held in strict subordination to the King of Elwynn and owes Him absolute obedience.

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 as well as the institution of City Watches by the White Orchid Throne in several major cities later in 1623, also the only police service in the Flower of the North.

Culture

As a force recruited from across the Twelve Peoples of Elwynn communication within the ranks of a heterogeneous force was an acute issue from the earliest days of the UDFs establishment. As a consequence the UDF evolved its own distinctive dialect or Army Crandish formed of a creole of the Norse and Froyalanish languages leavened with a heavy dose of Babkhi command words.
