Editing Scrollhammer: Holds of Skyrim (section)

===Elite===


====Honored Veterans====

The ranks of the armies of every Hold do not merely consist of commoners and watchmen called to war by the law of the fyrd, but also of the Jarl's own army, skilled warriors who have seen countless years of battle, yet have not yet reached the fated day when Shor's battle-wives choose them to join the slain in Sovngarde. These men are the core of a Jarl's forces, bands of brave men and fearsome berserkers who wear the scars and trophies of many victories. The warrior spirit of the Nords truly burns within their hearts.

====Warrior Clans====

The wilds of Skyrim are a harsh place, yet many strong individuals stand against them. Mercenaries, outlaws, bands of adventurers, or ancient families devoted to war for generations form the many Warrior Clans of Skyrim. These bands of fighters are not always linked to a particular Jarl, but rather fight free-lance, serving whichever great man or cause they wish to serve, as the winds blow.

9 pts per model. Elite. Infantry, Skirmish, Nord. 5-20 models per unit.

25mm x 25mm base.

====Horse-Veterans====

The many honored warriors of a Hold need not rely on fighting on foot. It is a common sight for a Jarl and the great men of his hall to take to the field upon tall steeds, combining the speed and brawn of their horses with their own wit and valor. Those Northmen adept at the art of riding are truly a sight to behold, swiftly overpowering the foe with great ferocity; for in an age of strength and steel, battles are won and lost by the skill of the horsemen.
