===Elite===

====Caballarii====

The armed forces of High Rock gladly make use of light raiding cavalry, both on the battlefield and for running messages.  Unlike the Cavalier, Caballarii are made up of poor nobles and veteran armsmen.  Few of the men and women actually own their steed, instead using one provided by their lords.  Due to their higher status, Caballari have the time to dabble in magick, and become fairly proficient in its use.  Ultimately they become able to cast from horseback even during the clangor of combat.  The combination of mobility and destructive magic makes them deceptively powerful.

14 pts per model. Elite. Fight in Ranks, Fast Cavalry, Breton. 6-15 models per unit.

25mm x 50mm base.

====Cavalier====

Cavalier make up most of the magick elite of High Rock.  In essence they are Breton knights- though it would be inaccurate to liken them to their Imperial counterparts.  As a whole they tend to not follow any codes of honor or chivalry.  Instead cavalier are every bit as fickle and petty as their patrons, frequently lording it over the peasantry whenever a chance might present itself.  Due to the unintelligible difference between the middle class and magick elite, these nobles often take special care to differentiate themselves- dressing in wild in-the-vogue clothing, ceremonial gear, and harshly correcting those that mistake them for a citizen.

Despite their numerous shortcomings, Cavalier do appreciate the intellectual pursuits of magick and speechcraft, and bear the best of weapons and arms Bretonny has to offer.  During wartime these nobles group together to form a rock-solid cavalry wing, running down light infantry with deliberate enthusiasm.  In fighting ability they are a match for nearly any other cavalry, and some magicians as well.  As is expected, cavalier all have at least basic knowledge in conjuration, normally bounding all manner of weapons during battle.  Others have experience in destruction- all the better to blast away at unarmored foes with.

24 pts per model. Elite. Fight in Ranks, Cavalry, Breton. 6-15 models per unit.

====Spellswords====

Spellswords are spellcasting specialists trained to support troops in skirmish and in battle.  They are trained in the dual talents of swordplay and magick, equally adapt at either.  Unlike battle magi, they are often given lighter skirmishing armor, and are also trained in less destructive arts of magick.  Alteration is taught to the spellswords to benefit the units they are attached to, and Restoration, to tend to those who might need healing.  Veteran spellswords are prized mercenaries and can take the role of adventurer with ease.

In battle they are terrible to behold- striking away with blindingly fast blows, running headlong at the front of their formations to get to grips with enemies.  Each and every one of these warriors are at least passably trained in the art of enchanting, so they wield gear and trinkets of deceptive power.  Entire squads of spellswords are luxuries that not all Hill Kings can afford.

18 pts per model. Elite. Skirmish, Infantry, Breton. 8-16 models per unit.

25mm x 25mm base.

Rules for using Daedra are found here: [[Scrollhammer: Daedra Cults]].


====Toxophilites====

Cousins to the elite Spellsword, Toxophilites are more skirmish and marksman oriented battlemagi.  Rather then take to harassing attacks, or the clangor of shield-to-shield combat, Toxophilites instead have honed the deadly art of archery.  It could be said that their strengths resemble those of the Great Houses of Morrowind to a degree- for they are trained somewhat in all forms of combat.  The bow, the sword, and magick alike is practiced by these men and women.

The Toxophilite's greatest asset is the Bound Bow- the soul of a daedra, torn from the realm of Oblivion and shaped into a deadly weapon.  It is well known that all bounded weapons are hideously powerful, but bows in particular seem to punch through armor with ease.  On the battlefield Toxophilites let loose deadly hails of bounded arrows before falling back and repeating.  Should the enemy somehow come to grips with these archers they are all too able to relinquish the shimmering bows and engage in melee combat.

13 pts per model. Elite. Skirmish, Infantry, Breton. 5-15 models per unit.

25mm x 25mm base.
