Dark Queene Una has many guards, almost a house unto themselves, known to the rest of the court as the Frumentarii.
They are widely respected among the court and although they are viewed as being highly disciplined, they also have a reputation for being undefeatable warriors nearly unmatched in their savagery.
In addition to their techniques of magical fear and berzerker-like rage, it is said that some of their weapons carry magical properties that bring terrible mortality to the fae.
Some whisper that it is these weapons which allow them to kill the enemies of the Queene with only the simplest of wounds. Others claim it is her magic which always deals the killing blow.
The Frumentarii have a very fraternal-like atmosphere, and although many fae fear their physical prowess, it has been many centuries since the Dark Queene has used them for actual battle. Preferring instead to simply purchase the loyalty of goblins or other fae, her well-toned guards flitter hours away in the distractions of the nobles.
The reputation of the Frumentarii alone keep them out of many duels, but it is no secret that the Dark Queene often chooses from among her guard to purge her rage.
The standard uniform of the Frumentarii includes a black velvet shirt open to the abdomen, or loose black robes. When on duty, they wear shining silver helms that contain a mask-like face plate that resembles the Dark Queene herself.
