Alani Martial Culture
When victory is a way of life, defeat is a thing of the past.Nomadic tribes were moulded by their living conditions, the vast steppes making them excellent horsemen with a predominantly martial culture. As a result, they relied heavily on their horses for both war and transport and treated them with reverence. The nomadic warrior spent most of his time on horseback, and had to learn the lance, composite bow, and melee weapons – all whilst riding at breakneck speed and often wearing cumbersome scale armour. Once learned, these impressive martial skills were honed during the lightning raids, usually on weaker, settled peoples, that ensured the tribe got whatever it needed to flourish. As horses were an essential part of their everyday lives, and indeed the thing on which their entire culture depended, the needs of those animals were paramount.
