(Sacrificing) Aerial Riders

Lore
The Aerial Riders are never seen without their enormous, feathered mounts. Each pair moves with one mind and both are willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of the battle. When their weapons break, they attack with their talons instead. When the birds' wings are tattered and useless, they continue to fight with their sharp beaks. Once on the battlefield, these Aerial Riders will not hesitate to fight to the death in the name of their king.
