Venedians Melee Infantry

Slavic Champions

The Slavs were first referred to as the "Sclaveni and Antae" from beyond the Carpathian mountains. Historians believe that the myriad Slavic tribes originated mostly in central Europe, possibly from along the southern shores of the Baltic Sea. The Byzantine Roman scholar Procopius called them strong, tall, and possessed of a neutral temperament that was "neither cruel nor disrespectful". They reminded him of the Huns and he noted how they mostly went into battle armed but not armoured, decrying any overlords, stating "others do not conquer our lands, we conquer theirs". However, it was centuries later that the foundations of future Slavic states were laid; their culture and ideals remained fairly disparate until that point, with individual tribes working independently of, and oft-times against, each other.
