The Silver Guard.

### **The Silver Guard of the Celeb Amlugs**

The Silver Guard are a special race of men. They look like High Elven Men, wearing Full-plate Silver Armor. They were created by Eru Illuvatar to protect the currently hunted Silver Dragons (Celeb Amlugs), The Celeb Amlugs were meant to counter The Dark Lord's Felbeast and Firedrakes, but the Elves and Men mistook them for the enemies dragons at once, hunting them to near extinction. The Silver Guard took immediate action, slaying all who threatened the Silver Dragons. But about twice an age, a Person was born, with Blood of Silver, which the Silver Guard would take in and aid. Around the 4th Age, Silver Blood became more frequent and so did attacks on Silver Dragons. Dire Orcs, orcs that were like mutated White Uruks, started attacking Gawaine, The Last Male Silver Dragon. In his cave, People of Silver Blood stepped in and fought each other, sometimes aiding Dire Orcs, and sometimes aiding The Silver Guard.

### **The Silver Guard Lands, and Factions.**

The Silver Guard have lands where ever is near a Celeb Amlug, making fortresses and cities. The Silver Dominion have a city on Numenor where Two Celeb Amlugs reside. The Silver Dawn have a spot in the Grey Mountains and Druadan Forest. The Men of the Silver Shield have another within Eriador, and one far out in Harad. The Silver Guard use to be one huge faction but are now split into war, about which dragon is better. There are Three Factions, The Silver Dawn, The Men of the Silver Shield, and Silver Dominion. You can join one of these factions if you have Silver Blood. Only Elves, Men, Hobbits, and Dwarves can have Silver Blood (Sorry Orcs).

### **The Silver Guard Armory.**

As the name suggest, the Silver Guard use silver in everything, mainly True-silver for weapons. They use almost no ranged weaponry save crossbows, and the bolts are made of Starlight Silver, which is weaker then True-Silver but alot less rare. Starlight Silver makes great scout armors, because it is very light, and glows when near an orcs which is great. The Silver Guard use Long swords, rapiers, (rarely) War-axes and Hammers. They also use Silver Axes and Pickaxes when suddenly attacked in the mines and woods they work in. The armor is mainly Full-plate Silver or True-silver, which causes terror to creep into enemies hearts, except Dire Orcs, because they don't have one.

### **The Silver Guard Magical Ways (Uh Oh, Not magic!)**

The Silver Guard, Starlight Silver, isn't mined from their mines. No, it is harvested from magical essence in the air. How they harvest it, is at night, during Full Moons. At altars they have four or five Spell-casters and Summoners around each pillar, casting a certain spell, pulling in Magical Essence, turning it solid into Starlight Silver. And yes they have Spell-casters and summoners. Spell-casters are usually clerics and sometimes, although very rarely, Necromancers. Summoners just "summon" dragons to them, or make Silver Elementals. It is rare you will defeat a summoner, because those Silver Elementals will make you into Elf Juice or something like that.
