Greenwood Avenger / Elvish Avenger

As with Greenwood folk in general, artists of the time often portrayed them with somewhat caricatured ears. Folk of Cornish background sometimes attribute this to the so called ear of corn; others tend to take it as representing having one's ear to the ground, or being well fed by the grapevines and rumour mills.

The curious name of the greenwood 'Avenger' comes from a tactic often employed by this master ranger. The enemy is allowed to break through a feint defense, and when the vulnerable troops behind the front line follow, greenwood archers break cover and attack, cutting the supply lines and surrounding the enemy in one fell stroke.

This has, at times, been interpreted as a form of vengeance for their brethren lost in battle.

Special Notes: In woodlands, this unit’s ambush skill renders it invisible to enemies unless it is immediately adjacent or has revealed itself by attacking.
