Even in the company of your average, independent-minded Rangers, Outriders are a breed apart. Outriders specialise in scouting and information gathering, guiding their comrades to an objective safely, efficiently and marking those objectives.

Tales of the first Outriders tell of recruits to a Paladin order. While they had the faith and conviction to become Paladins in their own right, they lacked the discipline required to maintain their oaths. Rather than waste the potential of these individuals, the order turned their skills, Paladin training and unique traits towards a role more suited to their tendencies and abilities.

Quickly, their independence was identified as making them ideal for ranging ahead of formations, scouting for ambushes or enemy formations, moving swiftly on steeds to maintain contact with their target, and lighting up targets for their comrades to focus upon.
