The Hart-La-Nen (Aquatic Knights)
The Defender of the Sea
is a warrior of the highest standing in the Lendorean society.
Upon entering the order, the young men begin vigorous training
in the trident, harpoon, khat-tal (a Lendorean missile
weapon), and net.
The new knight also becomes the keeper of a chi-len-ma, who
he will bond with and take care of for the rest of his life.
The chi-len-ma is a very large sea serpent, about twice the
size of a shark, and will become the knight's mount. No mainlander
has ever figured out how the bond works, for the Hart-Na-Len
can call their mounts to them from any shore, but without making
any audible sound. There seems to be a form of telepathy between
the beasts and their riders.
Form the beginning of their training, the young knights begin
to work on a suit of armour made from large round shells of
different sea creatures. They form this into a breastplate and
shield. Every day, the shells are coated with a special oil
and left to dry in the sun. This oil hardens the shells, until
after five years of coating, the shells are harder than steel
yet still lightweight. When a young knight turns 18, he must
perform the "Yuen-Len-Thos" - a difficult obstacle
course that is both under and above the sea. If the knight gathers
five out of seven rings in the Yuen-Len-Thos, he is allowed
to wear the armour he has made, and serve as a Hart-Na-Len.

Points, and Attacks)
