Although they are well-trained, they cannot be counted as great soldiers. They place too much store in tradition, and because of their pre-occupation with class, very few are actually allowed in, only those of noble birth. Therefore their numbers are perpetually low.

Their chariots, too, are outdated. According to tradition, they must be pulled by black stallions, and various ornaments and icons must be placed on the structure. This can weaken or over-balance the chariot, making them unreliable at the best of times.

Despite all these facts, the charge of the Royal Charioteers is usually devestating on the enemy; if they stand still to receive it. They are drawn by horses with unusual speed and strength, due to careful husbandry in the Royal stables. They also have scythed wheels, and various rams and spikes mounted around the frame.

The current leading Charioteer is Lord Kator, a noble who was elevated to his position in a shady manner. It appears he poisoned his superior, but due to the curious law system in Zandrith, he is considered to be above the law in some things. It is enough to baffle the mind of a casual Kaylonic scholar, what with honour, justice and the privileges of the nobles all mixed together to form a single system of law. Kator can be considered a typical charioteer - no major progress will be made until another comes to his office.
