Rauxsa-alanna Uaezdaettae

(Roxolani Noble Horse Archers)

If many Roxolani riders can now equip themselves with corselets of scale armour, their nobility will take this trend one step further and provide defenses for the horses they ride as well. Typically, they first probe for weaknesses and, if none are readily found, they work to create them. For such a task they may well resort to their bows.

Far from being simple, ignorant barbarians, the various steppe tribes had a great cultural wealth. Living in an area stretching from the Caspian Sea to the northern shores of the Black Sea; the Greeks called them 'Scythians' and the Persians 'Saka', while a western group became known as the Sarmatians. Wearing trousers marked them as barbarians as far as the Greeks were concerned, before their tall, pointed caps and swarthy appearances were even considered. Looks apart, they were, however, exceptional horsemen, highly-skilled with composite-recurve bows and deadly hand-to-hand fighters. Grave goods suggest that Scythian women were as warlike as their men, and probably fought alongside them in battle. This may well be the origin of the Greek myths of Amazon warrior women.
