White Huns Melee Infantry

Xionite Spears

The Xionites were some of the most famous warriors of the Hepthalite confederation, and may well have been the group who eventually became its ruling elite. Though their early history is shrouded in mystery, their settlements reveal them to be a nomadic people who spoke an eastern Iranian language, with deers featuring heavily in their iconography, indicating that the beasts were revered or worshipped. Eventually, the movement of other tribes drove the Xionites out of their Bactrian homelands and into the western part of central Asia – by this point under the auspices of the White Huns’ empire. As nomadic people, they relied heavily on horses in all aspects of their lives, being experts at riding and even slaying them – after which almost every part of the corpse had a practical use.
