Old Guard
In the political lexicon of Sordland, 'The Old Guard' is a term used to denote a purported group of influential individuals within the government. The nature and influence of this group, however, are subjects of considerable debate and speculation. The concept of 'The Old Guard' is often associated with theories of a deep state, a hidden network of power said to exert control over the state apparatus. This clandestine web of influence is rumored to permeate key organizations within the government, effectively shaping policy and decision-making from behind the scenes. Critics, however, dismiss such notions as urban myths, challenging the existence of such a widespread and influential entity. It's widely speculated that 'The Old Guard' took root during the Soll era, functioning as a security mechanism to maintain control and stability within the government. However, the shroud of secrecy remains intact, as there have been no public admissions or definitive evidence to confirm the identities of its alleged members. This enduring ambiguity ensures 'The Old Guard' remains a subject of intrigue, conjecture, and controversy within Sordland's political landscape.
