The Infernal Guard are drilled ceaselessly by their cruel Castellans, and barracked in the burning deeps beneath the Black Fortress. Their lot is to fight an unceasing battle against the horrors that abound in the desolate wastes nearby - a regimen that only the strongest survive. The greatest amongst this warrior elite will be selected to join the Infernal Ironsworn - the personal bodyguard of the covenant of Sorcerer-Prophets that make up the ruling echelons of the Legion of Azgorh.[1a]
