Aporos' Cavalry


Aporos' Cavalry

With the rising numbers of goblinoid warbands pouring out of the Dalelands, Waterdeep was only too glad to grant the ruined Castle Dragonspear to the Tyrian Templar-Commander Valanthe Aporos in return for a pledge to fight the goblin menace and restore order to the fields of Amn. After rebuilding the castle with funds and men from the Church of Tyr, TCmdr Aporos formed an elite cavalry unit to ride down and destroy the warbands, which consisted mostly of infantry.
