Guardians of the Gate

The Guardians of the Gate were a permanent formation of the national army of Amadicia, serving mainly as a bodyguard to the monarch of the nation.
==Purpose and Restrictions==
They are formed as part of the army loyal to the monarch of Amadicia, also called "Guardian of the Southern Gate". The last of these was Ailron Rovere Lukan. The influence and large numbers of the Children of the Light meant that their number was never allowed to be more than around a thousand men, where the total number of standing forces, border guards and and the like never numbered more than three to four thousand, except in times of war.
==Uniform==
They were dressed in mail and conical steel caps. They wear blue cloaks bearing the Star and Thistle.
==Activities and Fate==
Nynaeve al'Meara and others see them in large numbers in Sienda on their journey back from Tanchico.
Abdel Omerna reports to Pedron Niall that Ailron's men (the Guardians) are at the point of scattering the Dragonsworn, but Niall thinks the reason more that the Dragonsworn simply stopped advancing for their own reasons.
Most of the Guardians were killed, made Da'covale or became fugitives after the Battle of Jeramel, also known as Ailron's Disaster. The King himself was also killed.
