Description

The Immortals were prestigious and feared soldiers employed through the history of the Persian Nations, first by the Achaemenid Empire and then by its successor states, among them the Sassanid Empire who has had a series of struggles through its history, first their conflicts with the Eastern Roman Empire (And later Byzantine Empire) until they made a truce and eventually peaces in 843 A.C, the invasions of Arabic tribes that were stopped by the Neuroi in 660 A.C, the invasion of the Seljuk Turks that conquered their territory who then were destroyed by the Mongol Empire invasion in 1227 A.C, they later recovered their former lands thanks to the aid of the Byzantine Empire (And later the Ostoman Empire who chose to keep the Byzantine's Alliance with the Persians active).

The Sassanid Empire suffered a series of defeats and invasions all through the middle age and it wasn't until the year 1480 A.C that they were free from all forces and had many years to rebuild their former glory as well as creating a force that would help them repel invaders. Taking notes from their Ostoman Neighbors and the Mongol Empire, the Sassanid Persians decided to resurrect the Immortal Soldiers, only this time instead of having regular soldiers, it would be formed exclusively by witches, the Emperor gathered an army of 300 witches, no more, no less (as tradition determines that Immortal Armies can only have a set number with various people to replace them if they get injured giving the impression that they are indeed an immortal army) and created the new Persian Immortal Guard in 1789 A.C.

Upon being formed the Immortal Witches proved to be devastating and effective at keeping the borders of the Empire safe as well as assisting their allies in conflicts and provided a great support during the Crimean War.

To this day the Immortal Guard stands as the finest soldiers in the Sassanid Persian Empire carrying on the tradition of their legendary ancestors, currently they have joined forces with the 505 Joint Fighter Wing "The Mirage Witches" in defending the Persian lands from European and Neurois and they plan to march to Ostmark and recover their territory from Neuroi.

Ok, so I have a lot of questions... First, who are you? Second, some of this info is not correct, I guess you are combining it with your imagination even before the witch part (which I'm guessing is why you tagged it as "alternative history") Third, the colors of the flag don't match the time you are referring to. Red, White, and Green are the current colors of the Iranian flag but at Sassanid time it was Yellow, Purple, and Red. And Forth, the Arabic text you used is separated and reverse, it should be گارد جاویدان. It happens with all adobe software unless you go to setting and put it to the middle east mode. And lastly, you are using Sassanid Royal Symbol instead of their flag. Their flag was a symbol of a shield and a spear, it's called Derafsh e Kaviani.

Thank you for your interest in Persian history. But as a Persian, I just had to say these. ;)
