Royal Guards is one of the eleven Great Schools in Age of Wushu.
The Royal Guards are feared for their ruthlessness and efficiency. They specialize in swift, lethal attacks and operate with unchecked authority.
History[]
The Royal Guards are the most renowned of all intelligence agencies from the Ming Dynasty. Established to monitor, spy on, and suppress any misconduct by government officials, they hold unrestricted access to the Royal Courts, where they report directly to the Emperor. Their influence spans all corners of China, and they secretly participate in numerous major tournaments. Known for their cruelty and ruthlessness, the Royal Guards instill fear in all other schools.
Joining Royal Guards[]
To join the Royal Guards, the player must speak with the Royal Guards School Guide located in Royal Guards.
Requirements[]
- Player must be Vagrant.
- Players who have previously betrayed the Royal Guards are prohibited from rejoining the school for 30 days.
Rules[]
| Rule | DP |
|---|---|
| Don't kill Royal Guards players | +40 points |
The school enforces only one rule for their disciples. Violating school rule results in the accumulation of Discipline Points (DP). Players can reduce their Discipline Points by repenting at Royal Guards.
If a player accumulates more than 100 Discipline Points and enters the school scene, a punishing cutscene is triggered. After the cutscene, the player receives a damage-reducing debuff and their Discipline Points are reset to 100.
The strength and duration of the debuff depends on the number of points the player accumulated. The debuff timer will not progress while the player is offline, and the debuffs can stack if the player is punished multiple times in succession.

Royal Guards disciples who wish to join another school have four options: Blood Blade Clan, Training Away, Disguise, and Betray, each with its own requirements and consequences.
