Sanctuary of Zalmoxis
Oh, Zalmoxis! Receive our messenger, delivered at spearpoint.The Getae regarded Zalmoxis as the one true God, or at the very least their supreme god, with lesser deities at his sides. There is a body of evidence pointing to their worship of multiple deities, not least of all the implication by Herodotus that he was also known as Gebeleizis. The Getae believed in the immortality of the soul, thinking that when they died their soul simply travelled to meet Zalmoxis. It was even tradition, according to Herodotus, to pick a man by chance every four years and send him as messenger. This was achieved by hurling the chosen man into the air onto a trio of spears. If he survived the goring he was unworthy of being the messenger and a bad person. If he was speared to death, however, the man’s soul would ascend to Zalmoxis as messenger to the god.

Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Dac_Noble_Cavalry) Ktistai (Dacian Noble Horse Archers) Ktistai, or the ones set apart", are members of the most prestigious Getic priesthood, and are all drawn from the Tarabostes nobility. Apart from fulfilling many important roles in Getic society, some of the Ktistai also form small, elite cavalry forces. They are elite warriors who know how to use the bow and the falx; the two most important weapons in Getic society. Their armour is also high-quality and the Ktistai ride to battle in mail shirts with animal fur worn on their backs. The Ktistai will never break, disobey or act without orders and more than other warriors, they truly believe their souls immortal. They can only be recruited in places with a highly developed religious infrastructure." |
