Cold One Knights are the Dark Elf shock cavalry. The knights are some of the most skilled Druchii warriors, whose sheer strength matches that of their mounts. [1]
Mounts
Cold Ones are very resilient, with their thick scales protecting them from most harm. Their intelligence, however, is lacking, for their reflexes are not the best and they can be easily distracted, going the wrong way and refusing to let the knight control them. Hopefully, they will not get too far, for the reptilians can't match horses in speed, let alone the fine elven steeds.[1]
History
Following the discovery of the Underworld Sea, knights mounted on Cold Ones are used in battle for the first time in -2319 IC and although effective are present in too small numbers to make a difference. [3a]
Weapons and Equipment
The Long lance of a Cold One Knight is known as a Kheitain (Soul Eater). [4a]
