Skill level: Specialists in conducting war chariots and skirmishing.

Palomino Charioteers

As a clear result of the odd union in between the ancient nomad ways of Windcliff and the blooming progress of the manufacturing industry of the Palomino Clan, the Palomino Scythed Chariots strike both awe and fear in equal measure over all the other clans around the cold Northern Steppes of Arandolia.

​

Up to 4 Palomino Windcliff Warhorses pull such a heavily armoured chariot, which is carefully crafted by some of the best cartwrights within the amazon nation. Utterly covered and reinforced in steel plating over its already sturdy wooden frame, a war chariot can whitstand heavy demage from progectiles and melee weapons, while its wheels are designed to achieve great speeds despite the terrifying scythe blades rotating at stupendous velocity on both sides of the vehicle.

​

The horses themselves, as well as the 3 amazons who crew it all up, are also clad in thick armour crafted by the same smiths who reinforce the chariots, making the whole thing really difficult to bring down. In front of the steeds, a wide spiked bumper makes sure to crush anything on their path, while the two amazons who are not conducting the chariot throw javelins at anoyne lucky enough to dodge a frontal charge.

​

By trampling anyone directly in front of it, slicing down anything immediately at its sides, and impaling anyone within the range of a thrown spear, the Palomino Scythed Chariots are one of the most fearsome war contraptions deployed by any amazon army. Many call them "The Reaper from the Steppes", and their presence on the battlefield deeply demoralizes even the boldest opposing forces.
