The Rounswick Ducal Corps, better known as the Black Rounswickers, was a band of warriors raised by Duke Frederick William of Rounswick. When Napoleon reshaped Eurobloxia and placed his own allies on thrones, Rounswick was taken, and Frederick vowed to fight back.
He dressed his men in black from head to toe, a sign of mourning for their lost homeland. But this black wasn’t just for show—it made them look like ghosts on the battlefield, grim and relentless. They even wore silver skulls on their shakos, like pirates of vengeance. That look alone struck fear into hearts, and it became their symbol.
In 1809, when The Bloxtro Empire rose up against Napoleon, Frederick raised his corps and threw them into the fight. Even when the Bloxtros lost, the Brunswickers didn’t surrender. Instead, they slashed and fought their way across enemy territory, through Rogaulia’s allies, until they reached the North Sea and found passage to Bloxia. That daring escape made them legends.
Later, when Napoleon returned from exile in 1815, the Black Rounswickers returned to the battlefield once more, fighting at Quatre Bras and Waterloo alongside the Bloxians. Duke Frederick fell in battle during that campaign, cut down in the thick of the fight—some say he charged too far, sword swinging, shouting vengeance until the end.
