Tactics
The troop focuses on protecting the witches of the Royal coven. Typically they will form a loose circle or box around the witches. In confined spaces they will try to place a troop member on either side of each witch or in tighter space a single trooper on whichever side is considered the most threatened.
Training
The unit trains several times a week in small unit tactics. Practice in archery and swordsmanship is routine. The unit also gains experience by mounting patrols and hunting in the wood around Morja Annannara.
History
At the time Grand Duchess Annannara decided to form the Royal Coven she proposed to her sister the idea of forming a dedicated guard force to protect the coven. The Empress proposed creating a force of light cavalry armed with bows with idea being they could use their firepower to stop missile and spell attacks on the witches when they took their place on the battlefield beside the Imperial Army.
Historical loyalties
