Alans Melee Cavalry

Elite Agathyrsi Cavalry

Thought to be of Thracian or Scythian descent, and believing themselves descended from Herakles himself, the warlike Agathyrsi, also known as Acatziri, lived on a plain that is now part of modern-day Romania from around 700BC. They were famous for their unusual, relaxed attitude to breeding - where everyone belonged to everyone else - which instilled a sense of brotherhood and common purpose within the tribe in order to prevent in-fighting. The Agathyrsi were also known for their fearsome appearance. Their blue hair and tattooed bodies were frightening on the battlefield and an unusual sight away from it; the amount of coverage indicating a warrior’s position within his tribe.
