Information
The Imperial Guard was one of the three parts of the Scarlet Moon Empire's military organization. The Imperial Guard was responsible for a wide variety of duties within the Scarlet Moon Empire, including retrieving the Astral Conclusions from the Seer Leknaat, investigating and notifying towns of tax issues as well as defending the emperor and the Imperial Capital, Gregminster.

Members of the Imperial Guard held a reputation for having prowess in battle and were expected to be trained enough to fend for themselves in places such as Magician's Island.

During the late ages of the Scarlet Moon Empire, the Imperial Guard was commanded by Kraze Miles ; during Kraze's command, the Imperial Guard became known for corruption and brutality. Working for the Scarlet Moon Empire was considered to be an honour by Kraze Miles. Kraze's assistant, Kanaan, used his position in the Imperial Guard to force his subordinates to obey him and claimed to disobey him was to disobey the Empire itself.
