History

Origin

The Guard originates from 1623 when ____ of Sydona 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. To honor the original agreement with the Thračician‎s the unit will retain its regimental designation, but currently operates at demi-regiment status.
