The Dark Woods has long been a place of both wonder and dread to the people of the Union. Long ago the elves that call the Woods their home had been allies and mentors to the Orcs and Goblins teaching the younger races about the world - but that time is long past and not remembered by even the most scholarly Orc.
The Elves do not forget though...
Now, hundreds of years later, the Orcs and other members of the Union are not welcome in the Dark Woods. Those who enter generally suffer one of two fates - the lucky walk for days until nearly delirious from thirst and hunger they arrive right where they entered the Woods.
The unlucky ones are met by a group of Elven Guardians and inevitably become food for the trees - a sacrifice to Na Coillte Dorcha.
These bands of Guardians are expert trackers - well-versed in woodcraft and virtually silent to the ears of most, they follow interlopers and engage in all manner of mental torture. Once their prey's mind begins to break they strike with wickedly barbed javelins - most victims don't ever see the silver-haired Elves before they die.

Dair's Guardians
These are Wood Elf Skirmishers from Ral Partha Europe. I picked up an extra single mini of the leader so I could run them as two units of Scouts in Dragon Rampant.
