[@Gisk] Faira looks good ill accept.

As for your other question. Most of the Prince's guard is pulled from those who stand out in the Empire military, but the rest are made up of those the prince hand picked himself. The second group doesn't have to be part of the military or even a citizen of the empire really, just an individual whom the prince deems worthy and trusts enough to offer the position to. (Faira seems to fall in this catagory)
