Mainers 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 Mariners of Alqualonde are Teleri elves in service to Valinor. The Mariners form part of Valinors Mid-tier line up. They are light infantry armed with harassment javelins and swords for melee. Mariners form an excellent supporting unit to the Swanguard of Alqualonde. They can also hold their own in close quarters which allows them to be used as a frontline unit.

Cons

-Expensive at (575) florins despite being one of Valinors cheapest units.
