Northron mammoth-riders with eighteen-foot lances; not too strange compared to a lot of fantasy, but it wasn't ever exactly...common anywhere on earth.2. Southron unglai-riders (an ungla big, angry cross between an elephant, boar, and horse); five guys sit on the howdah on top (two archers, two lancers, and a 'driver')...these guys are pretty vicious on the battlefield.3. Trolls. No, not D&D-style gangly, green rastafarians with claws, but monstrously strong 8-10 foot tall humanoids with grey, leathery hides, with heavy armor and heavier weapons; they're the ultimate shock troops.4. Elven sword-monks known as the Alagonath. They rely on speed, discipline, guile, and grace to defeat heavily armored enemies with their shortswords.5. Orcish bills; imagine a cross between a scythe, halberd, axe, and tree-pruning saw. Then imagine it all rusty and mangled. That's an orcish bill.6. Tyrnian cavalry. They don't ride the biggest, strongest horses available, but the fastest; using bows, lances, and swords, they defeat even massed pikemen by the advantage of mobility.</blockquote>
