Desert Warlord

The desert shapes tough men, and even tougher kings of men.

The desert is a harsh and unforgiving place, yet it is home to many all the same. The people who lived there travelled in small tribes, only unifying occasionally for trade and celebration. Life in the desert necessitated the mastery of camels for both civil and military applications. It also required a reliance on a more fluid, hit-and-run style of fighting. Men from the desert fought swiftly, from the saddle, striking and vanishing again before the enemy had a chance to engage.
