The Remnant
The last loyal Iron Host soldiers who guarded a broken crown for a century before settling in Hollowmere.
The Remnant stands as the final testament to the old Iron Host, comprising the last soldiers who refused the grey sash and maintained their faith in the 'dead' king for one hundred years. Led by Ansel, the surviving bannerman and comrade of Sergeant Vane, this faction dedicated a century to guarding a broken relic crown rather than following Corvane's path.
In Book 12, this long vigil ended as they laid the crown down for good. The group subsequently settled into the empty mill cottages of Hollowmere, effectively adding nineteen grandfathers to the town and marking their transition from eternal guardians to peaceful residents.

Lore & Background
For a century, the Remnant remained the sole faction of loyalists who chose not to follow Corvane, holding fast to their allegiance despite the king being considered dead. Their existence was defined by this singular purpose: guarding the broken relic crown under the command of Ansel, the last old bannerman who once served alongside Sergeant Vane.
Their story concludes in Book 12 with a definitive act of closure. By laying down the crown for good, they abandoned their centuries-long duty to settle into Hollowmere's vacant mill cottages, bringing an end to their role as wandering guardians and integrating into the town as its newest elders.
