beneath the standard of a black goat with bloody horns rode copper men with bells in their braids ; lancers astride striped black-and-white horses ; bowmen with powdered cheeks ; squat hairy men with shaggy shields ; brown-skinned men in feathered cloaks ; a wispy fool in green-and-pink motley ; swordsmen with fantastic forked beards dyed green and purple and silver ; spearmen with colored scars that covered their cheeks ; a slender man in septon 's robes , a fatherly one in maester 's grey , and a sickly one whose leather cloak was fringed with long blond hair .
