What if the Varangian Guard, already mercenaries hired from outside the empire, were Ctisian heavy infantry?

During the late period, the Ctisian capitol has moved entirely back to the desert lands, leaving the Swamp Guard protecting nothing but the imperial fringes. I could easily see them breaking off and hiring out as mercenaries.

Them or Ulmites really.

EA Ermor had Lizard Auxiliares, MA Ermor has Zirru the Grand Thaumaturg (hero, C'tissian) as the last of them in Ermor... They could be reinstated, but it's not a new idea by any means. It would fit the Marshmaster theme; Swamp Guards, a Marshmaster hero, Nature/Water paths and perhaps a rare 5-path random (Nature and Water, of course, Death and Astral from C'tis, Fire from Theurgs).

Marignonese troops (Great Swords and improved armor?) might work. Ulm would be fine, of course. Atlanteans would work but are already divided between three nations in LA (R'lyeh, Atlantis, Mictlan).
