Gatewardens, not guards. They are the "captains" of the camp. And two doesn't seem like a lot until you realize there were only five camps in total. So, five camps, two of which were commanded by Miqo'te Knights of Ishgard.
Both Gatewardens have this in their dialogue:

Implies that there are several knights to a camp, not just two guards total for an entire region. This is further supported by Artoirel's earlier quote:
Artoirel Wrote:...Lest you are unaware, the camp was one of many our knights were forced to abandon when we withdrew from the Coerthas western highlands...
Now, if you include the other two Miqo'te I cited originally (N'canago and Ndha Jakkya) four of the five total aetheryte camps in Coerthas now have a represented Miqo'te population. Two of the four Miqo'te in positions of authority as canon Ishgardian Knights.
Take it or leave it. Pass it off as "speculation" or disregard it as "1.0 lore." I'm tired, have work in the morning, and believe I've contributed enough lore citations to this thread for one day.
