The Outriders are a special organization of armed couriers in The Verges, who serve to guard and deliver high-value parcels. They are known for their exceptional devotion to duty, combat prowess, wilderness survival skills, and horsemanship. Their emblem is a split black "x" on a red diamond over a field of black, which they wear as an armband on the right bicep. Their motto is "Everyplace sought, every load brought."

The Outrider organization first began in Everwind City due to an overwhelming need for reliable transport of correspondence, items, etc., as it was most often too dangerous for anyone besides caravans who could afford to pay for armed escort. Until that point, caravans and other mercenaries would take deliveries, but they were notoriously unreliable. As soon as the first few Outrider Stations appeared and word spread of their competence, the Outriders secured a foothold and began to spread all across the continent. The Outrider emblem is now recognized as a symbol of loyalty, dedication, and trustworthiness.

They first appear in Book One of the Everwind Series, titled Outrider.
