Rank & File CAVALRY
Rekenarim – Scouts, convoy escorts, and messengers. Mostly these troops work either individually or in small groups. The Rekenarim are formed into orgars only when they are employed on the battlefield. Clad in studded leather.
Black Iron Bow: The black iron bow is the standard elite weapon for Drakkarim archers and other skilled ranged attackers in the Darklands armies. With its shaft of bent and tempered black iron and its braided steel cable for a string, this bow fires its specially crafted metal arrows with remarkable force and accuracy. Though its heavy arrows do not fly as far as a normal longbow, they hurt a great deal more when they hit. A legion of Drakkarim archers with black iron bows is one of the most feared military formations of all.+1 AP effect.
Nalzheng: A specialised form of hammer, these weapons take their name from the Darkling words nahl darzheng, which mean ‘darkness fist’. Used exclusively within the Drakkarim military by their cavalry, the nalzheng has a concave striking head and is used to collapse armour and shields. Upon a successful strike, the armour of the opponent is damages as with the Sunder combat Manoeuvre. (This is a free action) If the attack was parried with a shield the shield takes the damage. |
