The Legion of Swashbucklers is a group of rapier-community folks who swear
to protect and defend the Queen. The Legion was the Queen's guard before
the Queen's Champion took up that duty as part of being Champion (of
course, dependent on what the Queen wants the champion to do), and still
guard the queen if the champion needs a break or needs a stand-in.

To the Queen. When Rowan won Crown in her own right, we swore to both of
them at their request, but were fully prepared to swear the oath to the Queen.
