Introduction
Cavaliers are warriors who specialize in fighting while mounted rather than on foot. While they can take many forms, ranging from the prototypical heavily armored knight to the lightly armored raider, they are usually seen using a lance as their weapon of choice. As expert horsemen, they have a special bond with their steed, who is usually never far from them. Whether they fight for a cause, for profit, or for glory, Cavaliers can always be found charging fearlessly into combat.
