| Through the long winter months,
the forest of Athel Loren is at its lowest ebb,
made dormant
and vulnerable through the cycle of the seasons.
The Treemen slumber and even the normally lithe
Dryads
are sluggish and slow. During this time, guardianship
of the most sacred of places falls to the Eternal
Guard, sons and daughters of the noble houses of
Athel Loren. Only skill on the field of battle
can earn
an honoured place within the ranks of the Eternal
Guard, for their duty is a difficult and dangerous
one. Should
the forest be assailed in the frozen months they
can depend upon little or no aid from Athel
Loren itself,
and will be called upon to hold fast against whatever
threat comes to challenge them. Sometimes, in
the
bitterest of weather when the Shadow Fey stir from
the Wildwood to claim the Oak of Ages for their
own,
the threat comes from within and not from without.
Regardless of whether the foe be faerie spirit,
marauding
Beastman or Questing Knight, the Eternal Guard stand
firm before it.
Eternal Guard count as a Core unit. Core units are
the most numerous troops within the Wood Elf army.
There is a minimum number of Core units that you must
field with this army, and this number varies depending
on the size of the army. There is no upper limit on
the number of Core units you can field.
