Shadow Riders

http://www.hot.ee/deephellshound/sr/shadowrider.jpg Shadow riders are at the moment the only cavalry available in Assassin realm. Mounted warriors are generally not suited for stealth however, Shadow Riders are capable of that, trained in arts of stealth and concealment, as well as moving unnoticed across terrain on horse back, the horse and warrior both shrouded in dark robes are capable of taking theyr enemy by surprise even when the enemy is aware of they coming. Although mounted subterfuge is still new field for Assassins, compared to other troops. We are the black shadow just a step away from your neck, a shadow that can only be escaped if one embraces the darkness and becomes one with the shadow. http://www.hot.ee/deephellshound/sr/spear.png http://www.hot.ee/deephellshound/sr/sword.png Weapons: Shadow riders yield a spear to war, spear the mother of all weapons, simple in principle but effective, easy to make and repair. Although in melee combat spear has a weakness, when the enemy is past the spear head, up close to its yielder spear looses its usefulness, thats why Shadow Riders carry a kalis instead of a kriss to battle, should the spear be broken or enemy get to close, the warrior will have a weapon to defend itself. http://www.hot.ee/deephellshound/sr/armor.png http://www.hot.ee/deephellshound/sr/helmet.png http://www.hot.ee/deephellshound/sr/shield.png Armor: Shadow Riders wear a solid quirass with chain mail sleeves atop leather vestments, toppled with thigh and leg guards Plus a kite shield and a great helmet. Generally light yet effective armor as not to burden the mount more than is necessary. Horse: Shadow Riders horses are fast steeds, covered in brigantine armor, (so to speak, brigantine armor is essentially metal plates woven in to shirts and clothes, in this case the dark robe covering the horse is embedded with metal slabs,) brigantine armor bolth light and comfortable wont hinder the horse while offering substantial protection.
