Guard of the Fountain Court

Biography
The "Guard of the Fountain Court" (also known as the Fountain Guard or Tower Guard) were the best soldiers in all of Gondor. Chosen for their fighting skills, bravery, and unshakable loyalty they were the personal guardians of the white tree of Gondor and to the king or steward of the throne.

Preferred tactics
The Fountain Guard were known for deploying their broad shields in a shield-wall formation during combat. They also were known for forming a shield-wall while using their spears to create a mini-phalanx.

Equipment
The Fountain Guard were armored in a finely crafted armor able to withstand the toughest of enemy blows (it is believed that this armor was originally gifted to Gondor by the Dwarves many, many years ago. It is also believed to be made of mithril). The Fountain Guards were also armed with long spears so as to make their shield walls all the more effective. The last item of combat that they possessed was a short ceremonial sword for use when their enemies closed in.
