Use cheap thugs to protect valuable provinces? Vanir should be a reasonable choice against Horrors with their Glamour to help them. PD will be pretty worthless against Horrors (ethereal plus 20 prot...), so why try to boost it?

If you have any Death, Banes will be a benefit because fear won't touch them.

I guess something like a Fire Brand and a couple of +defence items (why bother with prot against AN horror claws?) should be pretty effective.
