Cuirassier

(image)

Any High Elf, if asked about human knights, would describe them as a pale imitation of their own cuirassiers. While this is really conceit on the part of the elves, it is undeniable that the elves produce the finer horsemenn. Complementing their spears with swords of elven steel, they are more versatile than lanciers, having considerable worth in defence as well as in the charge.
