Rider

A raid begins with hoofbeats behind a cloud of dust.

A cloud of dust, the drum of hooves and the glint of spear points. Riders sweep across the plains like a wind, reach the holding's gate before the enemy can prepare, take their plunder and are gone as fast as they came.

The rider is the point of the raid. In distant lands, a kingdom's name is heard in the hoofbeats of his horse.
