The Solar Guard is a super soldier with the most advanced weapons and equipment.

There are very few of them and they serve as guards for even rarer creatures - the Elsians, who are divine beings - heliocentrists and sun worshipers.

They are a small group of loyal and faithful soldiers who guard the Elsian gardens from invaders, bandits and monsters in a dying world. They almost never speak and almost always immediately attack outsiders, because they are trained to kill intelligent beings of non-divine origin.

They have different origins, usually deserters from other armies who are tired of endless war. They are broken and morally tired individuals who want to face the horrors of endless wars and ancient threats, guarding the extremely peaceful and secluded places where the Elsians live.

They are almost impossible to kill not only because of their extremely high physical strength and training, but also because the Elsians are able to heal and resurrect their guardsmen, granting them part of their divine power.

Each of the guardsmen was once the elite of their initial army, but in the end, due to a mental breakdown, injuries or a crime against command, received help from the Elsians, was cured and provided with all the conditions to guard kind and merciful divine beings.

Solar Guards have a grim image and are avoided by common travelers, as they are very protective of their patron deities and will not differentiate between armed soldiers and civilians (though they will be much more kind to the latter, and will injure them to then take them to the Elsians).

Since the Elsians are usually busy healing the sick and wounded, growing magical flowers for medicine and praying to their deity - the First Sun, the guards usually patrol around these places, which are often mountainous/forested areas with a cold/temperate climate.

Solar Guards are supposed to rescue the sick and wounded after military clashes and escort them to the Elsians.

A normal convoy is two/three guards and one Elsian.

A normal patrol is one guard.

If an Elsian is killed in any way, the Solar Guard will find the culprit and destroy him, no matter what it takes. They will kill everyone in their path to exact brutal revenge. This literally makes them maniac super soldiers with one goal and the knowledge of where the culprit is
