The Celestial Dragon Guard are the elite household warriors of the Dragon Emperor's court, hand-picked veterans clad in ornate lacquered armour worked in the likeness of coiling dragons. Bearing long halberds and broad-bladed glaives, they form an unbreakable core at the heart of a Cathayan army, standing where lesser soldiers would waver and holding the line against foes that would sweep aside common troops. Their discipline is absolute, drilled over long years into a single flawless instrument of war, and they fight with a cold, ordered ferocity that reflects the harmony of the Celestial Empire itself. Blessed by the court's astromancers and steeled by the presence of the dragon-blooded nobility they serve, the Dragon Guard are proof against fear and sorcery alike. When the battle hangs in the balance and the hordes of Chaos press hardest, it is the Celestial Dragon Guard who anchor the Empire's defence, immovable as the Great Bastion they are sworn to hold.
