The Atheling Guard is Prince Imrahil's elite bodyguard from Dol Amroth. They are summoned through Imrahil's level 10 ability Atheling Guard. If the Guard is summoned while Imrahil is mounted, the Guard will be mounted. If the Guard is summoned while Imrahil is on foot, the Guard will be on foot. Only 1 battalion of Atheling Guards can be summoned at the same time. They are summoned at rank 1 and can gain experience (though they have no other abilities besides their buff to Imrahil).
