Swanguard of Alqualonde

Swanguard of Alqualonde
The Teleri elves are one of the elvish people groups in service of the Elves of Valinor, under the leadership of the Vanyar. They are distinguished by their lighter armor and being more numerous than other elvish houses.

The Swanguard of Alqualonde are solid spearmen in the service of the Vanyar. The Teleri elves that make up these companies are cheap to recruit making them often form the frontline/base for most Valinor armies. Their general tankyness allows them to hold off higher tier infantry units as well as cavalry.
