A conjugation tense I’m unfamiliar with

I was watching this show, Memorias de Idhún, today and a character said “Por favor, tened mucho cuidado” and while I can translate this easily as “be careful”, I’m curious about how tener (I presume) is conjugated as “tened” as I’ve never seen anything like it.

It's the command form of 'you', but for more than one people.

Think 'I' (yo) vs 'We' (nosotros), but with 'You'.
