[[File:Horseborn1.jpg|thumb| Canary (or Cainánóiridhe), a horseborn and leader of the largest tribe of her kind.|200px]] The horseborn are a race of creatures that live to the south and east of men and [[varl]], residing primarily in the flat plains of [[Dalalond]]. It is known that they are centaurs who may have interbred in the past with horses (based on the image and information provided on the map near the [[Plains of Slaughter]] and on the image provided for the item [[Horseskor]]). Male horseborn (and the corresponding base class for both Hero and Enemy units) are called [[Teulu]] while females are called [[Cantref]]. Horseborn have mainly Celtic influences: Their names are in Welsh, and despite the name they're actually a mix of man and (Irish/Welsh) pony. This incidentally is why most of them occupy one tile instead of two on the battle grid. ==Teulu== {| style="float:right;" |<gallery mode> File:horseborn_male_v1_master_se.png|Teulu, variation 1 File:horseborn_male_v2_master_se.png|Teulu, variation 2 </gallery> |} '''Teulu''' is the name used for the [[Horseborn]] males and the corresponding base [[class]] for both Hero and Enemy units. They are melee fighters usually using [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flail_(weapon) flails] and having no shield. ====Class Attributes==== [[File:Scathach.icon.versus.png|thumb|Scathach, a Hero Teulu character|100px]] Units belonging to the Teulu class have the following attributes: * '''Size:''' 1x1 tile * '''Movement Range:''' 4 tiles * '''Attack Range:''' 1 tiles (melee) * '''Passive Ability:''' Hit and Run (see below) * '''Stats:''' Similar to human-melee units, like Raiders. {| style="float: left" |[[File:icon_hitandrun.png]] |} ====Passive Ability: Hit and Run==== The Horseborn Teulu takes his normal movement, then can attack or use an Ability. Once the action is complete, he can move again up to three tiles; no [[Willpower]] may be spent on the second move. ====Promoted Classes==== The promoted classes stemming from Teulu are '''not''' named. The active abilities available to Teulu are: * [[File:icon_trample.png|40px]] [[Trample]] — Effectively increases attack range and damage output, +2/3/4 to each. * [[File:icon_mulekick.png|40px]] [[Mule Kick]] — [[Break]]s, [[Knockback|Knocks back]] and [[Stun]]s target. Hero Teulu units, [[Scathach]] and [[Ro'Ech]], start with one of those abilities and acquire the other when promoted to Rank 6. Enemy Teulu units have access to both abilities, at Rank 1 (of 3) only. ====Enemy Teulu==== [[File:Trigecannthae.icon.party.png|thumb|Trìgecánnthàe|100px]] During the second part of ''The Banner Saga'' you will fight against Horseborn Teulu and a boss unit of the same base class. {| class="wikitable" border="1" style="text-align:center;" |- ! scope="col" style="width: 120px; background: black; color:white;" | '''Teulu''' ! scope="col" style="width: 50px; background: #7c0e0a;" | STR ! scope="col" style="width: 50px; background: #0d386b;" | ARM ! scope="col" style="width: 50px; background: #a76600;" | WIL ! scope="col" style="width: 50px; background: #286408;" | EXE ! scope="col" style="width: 50px; background: #292939;" | BRK ! scope="col" style="width: 80px; background: #9966CC; color:white;" | Trample ! scope="col" style="width: 80px; background: #9966CC; color:white;" | Mule Kick |- |Variation 1 || 11 || 9 || 5 || 2 || 3 || 1 || 1 |- |Variation 2 || 10 || 10 || 5 || 2 || 3 || 1 || 1 |- | Trìgecánnthàe || 20 || 14 || 8 || 2 || 3 || 3 || 2 |} ======Trìgecánnthàe====== Trìgecánnthàe is a large 2x2-tile sized Teulu with higher stats and an extra active ability, [[Sundering Impact]] (like [[Hakon]]). He is the leader of a hostile Horseborn herd that raids human settlements near the [[Old Wood]] and can be confronted in [[Chapter 12]]. * Trìgecánnthàe also appears in two battles of the [[Survival Mode]] offered with the second part of ''The Banner Saga''. ====Trivia==== Teulu is the welsh word for family. ==Cantref== {| style="float:right;" |<gallery mode> File:horseborn_female_v1_master_se.png|Cantref, variation 1 File:horseborn_female_v2_master_se.png|Cantref, variation 2 </gallery> |} '''Cantref''' is the name used for the [[Horseborn]] females and the corresponding base [[class]] for both Hero and Enemy units. They are ranged fighters usually throwing [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javelin javelins]. ====Class Attributes==== [[File:Derdriu.icon.versus.png|thumb|Derdriu, a Hero Cantref character|100px]] Units belonging to the Cantref class have the following attributes: * '''Size:''' 1x1 tile * '''Movement Range:''' 4 tiles * '''Attack Range:''' 2-4 tiles (one tile shorter than [[Archer]]s) * '''Passive Ability:''' Free Roam (see below) * '''Stats:''' Slightly lower that Horseborn Teulu (males). {| style="float: left" |[[File:icon_freeroam.png]] |} ====Passive Ability: Free Roam==== While moving, each [[Willpower]] the Horseborn Cantref spends allows her to travel 2 tiles instead of 1. ====Promoted Classes==== The promoted classes stemming from Cantref are '''not''' named. The active abilities available to Cantref are: * [[File:icon_pin.png|40px]] [[Pin]] — Deals regular damage and reduces target's movement range. * [[File:icon_poisontipped.png|40px]] [[Poison Tipped]] — Deals (small) Strength damage for 3 [[Round]]s. [[Derdriu]] starts with Poison Tipped and gains Pin when promoted to Rank 6, whereas [[Canary]] starts with both abilities. Unlike the Teulu, the enemy Cantref units only have access to Pin, at Rank 1 (of 3). ====Enemy Cantref==== During the second part of ''The Banner Saga'' you will fight against regular Horseborn Cantref as well as a version (called Javelineer) with extended attack range, in the battle where you face [[Canary]]'s herd. {| class="wikitable" border="1" style="text-align:center;" |- ! scope="col" style="width: 120px; background: black; color:white;" | '''Cantref''' ! scope="col" style="width: 50px; background: #7c0e0a;" | STR ! scope="col" style="width: 50px; background: #0d386b;" | ARM ! scope="col" style="width: 50px; background: #a76600;" | WIL ! scope="col" style="width: 50px; background: #286408;" | EXE ! scope="col" style="width: 50px; background: #292939;" | BRK ! scope="col" style="width: 80px; background: white; color:black;" | Max Range |- |Variation 1 || 9 || 9 || 3 || 1 || 2 || 4 |- |Variation 2 || 10 || 8 || 3 || 1 || 1 || 4 |- | Javelineer || 10 || 8 || 3 || 1 || 2 || 8 |} ====Trivia==== * A cantref was a division of land in medieval Wales. * Horseborn have mainly Celtic influences: Their names are in Welsh. The term 'horseborn' is a misnomer as they're actually a mix of man and (Irish/Welsh) pony. This incidentally is also why most of them occupy one tile instead of two on the battle grid.
