Imperial Human — Heavy Cavalry

The Imperial Human Heavy Cavalry are the High Crown Dominion’s armored hammer, drawn from noble houses whose lineage is steeped in battlefield tradition. These riders form the Dominion’s most elite martial caste, trained in the Ironcourt Riding Halls, where charge discipline, lance control, and shock‑impact tactics are refined into an art.

Each Heavy Cavalry rider bears a steel‑forged heavy lance, a broad kite shield, and full plate‑reinforced barding that protects both rider and destrier. Their armor—layered steel with gilded accents—marks them as noble warriors entrusted with decisive battlefield actions. Their cloaks, often in Dominion crimson or house colors, signal authority and unstoppable momentum.

Their silhouette is intentionally IP‑safe, grounded in classic fantasy heavy‑cavalry archetypes: armored destriers, heavy lances, kite shields, and disciplined charge stances. They embody the Dominion’s ethos of order, shock dominance, noble duty, and battlefield supremacy.

Imperial Heavy Cavalry serve as elite shock‑charge cavalry, ideal for commanders who need:

• devastating lance charges to break elite infantry

• armored breakthrough units for contested objectives

• high‑impact melee pressure against heavy foes

• synergy with Knights Templar and Radiant

• morale‑crushing presence across the battlefield

They are the Dominion’s most decisive cavalry—slow to reposition, unstoppable when unleashed.
