TKL : Winged Hussars

karthrag_inak · January 2023

Today Khajiit Learned : That winged armor that so many of the western tamrielic civilizations wear has an RL basis, and that basis is most impressive.

Introducing, the Polish Winged Hussars heavy calvalry!

"1400 winged hussars stood in the front of 12 000 rebelling soldiers of Gdansk (3100 landsknechts, 400 mercenary reiter cavalry, 400 city cavalry, and 6,000–8,000 militiamen). Hussars charge in the flank crushed rebelling forces. That night Danzig's losses amounted to 4400 dead and 5000 taken prisoner, while the Polish's army suffered 88 deaths."

If only ESO pvp had mounted combat, yes?

I'm really disappointed there has been no mention of the Kenarthi's Pride Style Motif this Pan-Elsweyr Celebration, sorry, The Season of the Dragon Event. I was having a break from the game when it was first introduced (and only time) and was really hoping it would be part of this event.

It would really finish off a couple of my toons outfits.

I am not a historian, but as far as I am aware, the idea behind the "Wings" was that it is making a substantial noise when the horses are galloping, so much so that the enemy horses will startle & panic and enemy formation will break. The Hussars horses were trained in advanced not to panic and ignore the noise.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_Kevin now that we have the February Crown Store Preview and the Kenarthi's Pride Style Motif isn't listed is there any chance you could find out why it wasn't included in this years rebranded Pan-Elsweyr Celebration please? And if and/or when it will return.

I've been holding onto crowns specifically to buy this as soon as it's available again and I am very disappointed it hasn't returned during the event.
