Description

In a shield wall enough arrows will find every gap and pierce whatever is unprotected. Eyes, throats, shoulders, even legs would all be fair game. An archer wouldn't even necessarily need to aim, though of course it didn't hurt. After all an archer could have three or four arrows in the air at any one time up to eight hours a minute. Though that rate would be hard to maintain for more than ten minutes or so. But with several hundred archers one could blanket a formation. 

The Norse weren't expecting the Nasnor archers to show up at the battle. They had assumed their terror raids would have cowed them into submission so they would not send troops to the northern island when King Falkimir of Elgon requested them. It was only Larya's magic that got them through, but that is another story. But the archers arrived and the Norse weren't expecting them especially when retreating after a defeat . They weren't supposed to lose.
