Handmaidens

The Handmaidens of the Everqueen, also known as "Her Handmaidens," and the "Maiden Guard," are the all-female High Elven honour guard of the Everqueen of Ulthuan, Alarielle. The Handmaidens hold the highest rank of all the Sisters of Avelorn. The Handmaidens are not mere courtiers and attendants, but highly skilled elite warriors whose duty is to serve and protect the life of their royal mistress. Only those among the High Elves with great natural gifts are chosen to be Handmaidens. They are the most talented singers and musicians, the most beautiful, the fleetest and most graceful, but above all the most loyal.
