Ivory Boughs — Swan Citadel Knights

Lore

The Knights of the Swan Citadel are the elite cavalry of the Ivory Boughs — noble riders sworn to ancient oaths and trained within the citadel’s marble‑lined halls. Their armor is pale‑lacquered and crested with the swan sigil, a mark granted only to those who have proven unwavering courage in defense of the realm. Each Knight rides a destrier bred for discipline and endurance, its barding reinforced with ivory‑trimmed plating and ceremonial etchings that gleam beneath the forest canopy.

These Knights embody the realm’s highest ideals: honor, precision, and the quiet certainty that their charge will break whatever stands before them. Their weapons are elegant but deadly — lance, sabre, and reinforced shield — all crafted to deliver decisive force at the moment of impact. When the Swan Citadel Knights ride, the battlefield shifts; enemy lines falter, formations buckle, and the pale banners of the Ivory Boughs sweep forward like a tide of disciplined thunder.

⭐ Tactical Role

Knights serve as shock cavalry, delivering powerful charges that break weakened lines and exploit openings created by the infantry. Their speed and discipline allow them to reposition quickly, reinforce flanks, or strike at vulnerable targets with precision. Commanders field them when they need fast, hard‑hitting cavalry capable of turning momentum in their favor.
