Rider

Horses have limited use in an underground world made of caves and tunnels. Prestige is, however, a strong force to tame in the name of rationality. When the High Steward's guards at the Gardens of Eden began to train horses to quickly move around the artificial countryside, many in the crowded cities outside felt the need for a similar force to proudly symbolise their autonomy. This cavalry force is mostly ceremonial, however, and is trained to avoid combat and provide instead quick ranged support to rovers in danger close to the Cities, exploiting the increased mobility their small horses provide also in uneven terrain.
