description= _ "Elvish Outriders are trained as the royal couriers of the elven kingdoms. Despite the peaceful nature of their people, their experience makes them quite deadly in combat. Only the most dedicated exceed these elves’ skill as mounted archers — in fact, most would be hard pressed to equal it standing on solid ground.
description= _ "There once was an elf by the name of Beirand, who set out on a journey to a distant land.
Thirteen days he rode, no rest did he take, ‘til a nymph’s abode he entered, beside a lake.
“Lo, Narya!” Came a cry of glee, “Spy thee yonder apple tree?”
The response, a neigh, she jumped with delight, then set off in a canter spright.
Not a moment passed ‘ere a gusting blast, blew all around, an airy voice cast:
“Hold there, thee elf, this grove is mine — no fruit shall I yield you, nor your equine.”
Came the reply, “Please grant us respite. Long have we traveled; surely you see our plight!”
“That, I consider, is your case, but to earn my favor, let’s have a race.”
To this, the rider did consent, and toward the tree, off they went.
A howl, a rush, a flying gale, the wind left the rider back on its tail.
But in a flashing streak, a gallop sleek, rider and horse past the wind did squeak.
In augmented time, back and forth they sped, until at last, fleet elf landed ahead.
“Well done,” spake the sprite, as she blew in, “my grace I shall grant thee and all of your kin.”
Beirand and Narya thus took their leave, carrying forevermore, the nymph’s reprieve.
The speed of these soldiers allows the elves to strike when and where they choose when fighting on their home ground, a fact that has saved many of their number from death."
The truth of this tale, one can only surmise, but beyond doubt, Outriders, the fastest do comprise."
