The Crownsgard is the standing military presence in Xerdani. It is comprised of a singular race: The Giff. The Giff are born and bred into their military roles. They are trained from a young age and are highly skilled. However, they lack certain qualities found in more skilled units. The Crownsguard is used as the primary military might that both stands as a protective force against any assaults against Xerdani and as an attacking force in its own right if and when The Giff march beyond Xerdani's Edge.
