Horazul is protected by a force of 10,200 professional soldiers trained by [[Kurolnan]], a veteran from the [[War of Religions]]. The Narchakur[^1] wear Horazul's blue and gold and wield the spear and shield as well as [[Dawn hammer|dawn hammers]]. They are also recognizable for their face crowns, and for the golden jewellery worn by their squad leaders. The face crowns came to be as a protection against the population as headbutting one another is a common mean of asserting dominance. The Narchakure often accompany [[Bureau of Civil Inspection|Inspectors]] on their routine inspection, serving as both protectors and enforcers should the need arise. [^1]: Comes from the Ovgenian word for snake: Narch'akwe and the word for golden: kuri.
