The Great Prince's Own Royal Thračician Foot Guard is an ethnic Thračician Guard demi-regiment in the direct service of the Great Prince of Burgundie. The Guard is a non-mechanized infantry demi-regiment tasked with the protection of the Great Prince, his family and possessions. It is one of the only permanent and active military unit in the Burgoignesc Metropole.
History
Origin
The Guard originates from 1623 when Terentius, Archduke of the Sydonas pledged an honor regiment to Fransois I, Duke of Bourgondi as a dowery for his daughter's hand in marriage. This regiment was named 'The Duke's Own Royal Thračician Foot Guard'.
Heyday
In time, the regiment grew due to the increased use of Thračicians in Bourgondi's colonial ambitions and the regiment became a symbol of the good Sydonan-Burgoignesc relations. It took an active role in most Burgoignesc conflicts, both internal and external. Even after Sydona became a possession of Kiravia, a sworn enemy of Burgundie, the regiment remained though ties with Burgundie had been severed.

Due to decreased demand for full time soldiers in the Burgoignesc military, the number of soldiers being replaced in the Foot Guard has dwindled. At is peak in the 1840s the Foot Guard was 6,500 strong, but its current roster is merely 1,254. Since the Second Great War, in 1937, the unit was reorganized to also include Chrobonskians who serve in the unit until today. To honor the original agreement with the Thračicians the unit will retain its regimental designation, but currently operates at demi-regiment status.
