Editing Blacksky Riders (section)

== Chronology ==
After the battle near the estate of [Lady] [[Rie Valerund]], [Emperor] [[Laken Godart|Laken]] gained an imperial unit [[Skills|Skill]]: [Empire: Blacksky Riders]. The adventurer company of the [[Windfrozen Riders]] under command of [[Beniar]] had been Laken's cavalry force up to that point and also participated in that same battle. This skill allowed Laken to promote Beniar as the [Captain] of this new unit.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/05/15/4-35-e/ Chapter 4.35 E]</ref>

After having used this unit to beat off [Bandit] and [[Goblins|Goblin]] attacks,<ref name="5.09E" /> Laken deployed the Blacksky Riders to assist [[Wiskeria]] in her night-time gas attack to hobble [[Rags]]' Goblin army.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/09/18/5-22-g/ Chapter 5.22 G]</ref> The smell-sensing [[Carn Wolves]] and Rags' gem of fear turned out to equalize the combat however.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/09/22/5-23-g Chapter 5.23 G]</ref>

After that war, while Laken was absent, the Darksky Riders were the mounted forces of Riverfarm, keeping order in the region as good as they could against an influx of [Bandits].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/07/27/6-34-e/ Chapter 6.34 E], [https://wanderinginn.com/2019/08/10/6-36-e/ Chapter 6.36 E]</ref> Among [Bandits], they became infamous for their surprise attacks,<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/08/13/6-37-e/ Chapter 6.37 E]</ref> although [[Ryoka Griffin]] considered their force as too weak to patrol the area effectively.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/08/27/6-41-e/ Chapter 6.41 E]</ref> As Laken finally returned, he promised to enlarge their ranks again and reward their service.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/09/24/6-47-e/ Chapter 6.47 E]</ref>
