Scaled Skirmisher was an outfit for a warrior-scout sent forth from Rivendell by Elrond while Frodo and his companions were resting there in preparation for their quest. The scouts roamed far into the north, east, and, like this scout, south into the wilds of Eregion. How better to cover these great distances swiftly than on a prized steed from the stables of Elrond himself?
