The Wyrmguard are the Guardian's shocktroops in Ultima IX. They are easily identified by their dragonwing-armour (hence the name), and are basically the standing army of the Guardian in Britannia. They are mostly armed with broadswords and seldom bother with shields. Also, some of them have learned the art of dragon-riding. However, in Ultima IX, it is never explained: 1. * Where they come from, or 2. * Why the Guardian hadn't used them to conquer the land.
