Late Tornadizos

Generations of Tornadizos settlement have built a standing class of armored cavalry whose training and equipment now match the best Christian knights of Iberia. Their lances are longer, their plate heavier, and their numbers no longer depend on the frontier's whim. The Andalusi heavy horse has come of age, fielded under our own banners against the kingdoms whose technique once defined them.
