Editing Scrollhammer: Holds of Skyrim (section)

====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.
