The Carronburg Greatswords

The Carroburg Greatswords are one of the most famous regiments in the Empire. During the Siege of Carroburg in 1865, the regiment successfully held the walls of their city against the Count of Middeland's huge army. During the battle the Greatswords fought on despite their many and deadly wounds, and at the end of the battle their white uniforms were stained red with their own blood and that of the many enemies they killed. Today, the Carroburg Greatsword are still known for their incredible strength of will and great courage, and rightly so.
