Witch Knights or Witch-Knights[1] were a Reachfolk faction of mounted knightly warriors who were known for breeding Witch Knight Charger horses. During the Reachfolk invasion of the High Rock, they were profoundly impressed by the power and splendor of Breton mounted knights. They decided to breed their own hardy northern steeds native to the Druadach Mountains such as distrustful, tenacious, temperamental, and belligerent Reachmares to the same size.[2][3][4]

Witch-Knight Chargers were seen in the stables of Markarth during the Three Banners War in the Second Era.[5]

Little is known of the Witch Knights themselves, except that their armor was usually medium weight, and designed for both spellcasting and traditional combat.[1] Knights of the Reachfolk origins were not unheard of, though their connection to the Witch Knights is unknown.[6][7]
