Northern Veteran Lancers
To these renowned warriors, the lance is simply a lethal extension of the arm.Only the hardiest and boldest of warriors survive in war, let alone as lancers on the front line. With their spirits bathed in blood and tempered in war, these veteran riders are an exemplar to any other warrior who would sit upon a saddle, or couch a lance.
With greater armour than their cavalry contemporaries, the adept cavalrymen are a destructive force upon the field, with a resolve and discipline that shatters enemy morale as much as any well-timed charge.
