The Ravenspears were one of five patrol-hosts meant to be standing sentry north of the Naggarothi watchtowers, there to seek out incipient danger and carry word south to Naggarond. Nowhere had Morathi's influence spread so deeply as amongst the dark riders of the northern wastes. This unit is possibly inspired from the regiment called the Ravenspears in the lore: They revel in the prospect of running down terror-stricken victims, dragging out every moment of wild panic as long as possible before delivering the final heart-seeking strike. In battle, Dark Riders take delight in skirting the enemy flanks to attack war machines and cut lines of supply. They travelled ahead of Nagarythe's hosts, sowing terror and confusion wherever they rode, burning villages and driving their people into the wilds.
During the civil war, the Dark Riders earned a more sinister reputation. These Dark Riders wore cloaks of black feathers, invoking the raven-headed god Nethu to keep them hidden from the eyes of the enemy. In the grim days when armies of Daemons besieged Ulthuan, keen-eyed messengers from Nagarythe kept guard for any signs of a daemonic intrusion. The Raven Heralds appear from nowhere, leaving piles of corpses in their wake. Raven Heralds (Repeater Crossbow) is a Dark Elves unit in Total War: Warhammer II's downloadable content, The Queen and the Crone.
