"Now if they aren’t dead by then, we’re sending in the ballistae!.........I know we don’t have any ballistae you moron, it was a figure of speech! It’ll be the Wyvern Knights! Nothing can survive an assault from them!"
——Grask Brachfang, Half-Orc Commander
The Wyvern Knights are the elite fighters of the Half-Orc Legion, equipped with the finest weapons and armor that they could find or take from others. Since each one has a long history of successful conquest, they tend to get what they want. They favor the Greatsword, Heavy Crossbow, and Breastplate, even employing deadly tactical weaponry such as alchemical exploding bolts to devastate the enemy ranks. They are especially adept at fighting while mounted, possessing a rare control over their wyverns that weaker races simply could not accomplish. They prefer to fight by passing overhead several times, taking out clusters of enemies, then landing and joining the melee to satiate their bloodlust, as well as their pets.
