Victor had taken a patrol around the city, if it could be called that with his wife and children following him. They eventually ended up at the stables, where a group of light cavalry (Markarth's dark green, not red) were on their way. Victor had them patrolling the roads of the Reach, keeping travelers and trading caravans safe from bandits or Forsworn. They occasionally stopped at settlements in case citizens had something to report, but mostly rode along specific routes.

Markarth had become famed for its noble and mighty cavalry forces. Light cavalry, heavy cavalry (again, dark green) and the revered Valkyries, pride of Markarth's forces. The Valkyries were the noble, magically trained elite cavalry, whose primary concern was protecting and serving the Ryver family, and occasionally acting as field commanders. Their plated armour was trimmed with gold for recognition, and they were trained to use wards to deflect spells, as well as cast their own. They also had the strongest horses, capable of keeping up with light cavalry, despite heavier equipment.

The family's leasurely stroll was interrupted by General Sayed, a Redguard who had risen the military ladder in the diverse city.

"Lord Ryver. Bounty hunters just returned, having cleared the Forsworn camp south of Dragon Bridge. They have been given their compensation."

"Good. We don't want merchants to be afraid to cross the Karth river into the Reach. More trade means more gold, which means a better economy. We have similar problems with Whiterun, however. I want you to send a company to deal with the Forsworn at Fort Sungard, so we can ensure traders from the hold won't fall prey to Forsworn before they can trade us their gold."

"As you command, sir. The savages will fall." Sayed saluted.
