Tiranoc Chariot[1c]

Tiranoc Chariots, also called simply High Elf Chariots,[9] are powerful weapons of war and the favoured mounts of nobles, particularly of the Elf kingdom of Tiranoc.[1b]

Overview

When called to war, the nobles of Tiranoc always answer in their chariots, often being the first to pledge their aid in battle. They are noted for their skill in controlling the chariots and their ferocity when they impact the enemy, their spears lashing even as the horses bite and kick. Formations of the chariots are often called the Riders of the Wind, named for the famous chariot of Bel Shanaar.[4a]

Notable Chariots

History

The warriors of Tiranoc, which was once the most densely populated part of Ulthuan, favoured fighting from chariots. After it was almost completely inundated by the sea during the Sundering, the chariots were mostly restricted to the lower slops of the mountains.[6]
