Shinjo Outrider School

As the core of the Unicorn military, the Shinjo Outriders emphasize speed and flexibility. All Shinjo Outriders are trained in reconnaissance and how to use their horses in any possible scenario, and because of this, no samurai is more mobile than a mounted Shinjo Outrider. Their preferred weapon is the Shinjo horsebow, which they use with unmatched accuracy even at a strong gallop. Trained go live off the land, the Shinjo Outriders thoroughly learn the terrain of each potential battlefield before any fight begins, the better to take advantage of the landscape.
