Imperial Gate Guards
Every gate is its own defence, but further held by the imposing, armoured gate guards.In defence of the emperor, these soldiers will cut back any enemy and, if need be, give their very lives. In these dark days, where the Han are embattled on many fronts, the Imperial Gate Guards act as an imposing reminder that the emperor's word is still law.
Clothed in metal armour and bearing heavy polearms, any marauder, barbarian or rebel will soon find a swift end before their righteous, stalwart line.
