Vanguard's Hammer

For those entrusted with the critical task of charging across enemy lines on beastback, riders are granted use of this specialized barding. The frame is constructed of the selfsame alloy that composes the armor of the royal guard. As such, it is supremely tough, yet striking to the eye. Few sights are as glorious as a maul of purity and purpose smashing through the flank of a dumbstruck enemy force. In peacetime, it is even more resplendent, its silken drapes billowing proudly in the wind.
