The [[Ardoris]] guard serve and protect the entire shogunate, but operate out of Ardoris. They are led by Guard Captain [[Cugel]], who has divided the guard into five corps: 

*[[Ardoris/Azure Dragon|Azure Dragon]]
*[[Ardoris/Black Turtle|Black Turtle]]
*[[Ardoris/Vermillion Bird|Vermillion Bird]]
*[[Ardoris/White Tiger|White Tiger]]
*[[Ardoris/Yellow Dragon|Yellow Dragon]]

==Beliefs==
The Black Turtle are the elite military members who are sworn loyal to Shogun [[Siranto]]. They are the first sent into dangerous situations and combat situations, such as the Battle of [[Solace Bridge]]. Their ferocity in battle is matched only by the intensity of their loyalty. They devote themselves to the concept of fidelity. Officially they are led by Rian Jordan, the humble warrior. While he leads well through action, his humility holds him back somewhat as a leader. Barry Mills is an experienced veteran of the guard who lost out as a finalist for the Captain of the Guard job. He is vocal and opinionated, which makes him an unofficial leader of the corps as well.
