Not really. The land is too small. And I think that the power of the BHT lies in the Mounts NOT in the Riders. Reading up on their too-too brief entry in HW:RPiG is enlightening - I really think the Riders are more superfluious than a player character might to admit.
Personally, I'd rather have a cool reason rather than a boring-yet-another-pseudo-feudal-serf-society.
