Chronicles of Dahara

  UNIFORMS OF DAHARA 7 The Guard de Corps The quiet countryside of a late spring day in Dahara is shattered by the sounds of trumpets and thundering hooves.  The Guard de Corps, pride of the Army, is on the move towards the battle front with Fuddland. The sunlight shines off their gold cuirasses.  Their commanding officer, Count  Lubbock, is resplendent with his golden helmet topped with a bold red comb.  His trumpeter, Max, is in reversed colors with a white comb.  He does not ride a grey horse.  The Guard rides a matched set of Black horses from the Master's Stud.  Their tack is bold red. Daharan Blue tunics with red facings clothe all of the regiment.  Other ranks wear black combs on their golden helmets. Soon Fuddland will tumble to the sound of the guard approaching!
