Eastern Town (Silk)

A prosperous centre for trade and commerce full of opportunity for the right people.

Small farming settlements were the backbone of ancient civilisations in the east, feeding the great cities such as Antioch and Seleucia. Situated to exploit good land, fishing, mining or quarrying, defence was often too expensive to be more than a secondary consideration. As the populations of the great cities increased, surplus food from these farming communities became essential. As small military garrisons were positioned to protect valuable resources and trade routes, there was a slow growth of many hamlets into towns, as people and trade passed.

Zubindar-i Suguda
(Sogdian Javelinmen)

These men risk their lives by closing with the enemy while carrying only the lightest of equipment.

Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (AOR_26_Yuezhi_Archers)
Jamsya Yukhuna Duna Purma
(Yuezhi Horse Archers)

These horsemen make up the backbone of the Yuezhi cavalry, as horse-archers. As such, they are armed with extremely powerful composite bows of the asymmetrical, or "Hunnic" style. Their qualities as archers are offset by their performance in melee, as they are lightly armed and wear little to no armour. Used wisely, these mounted archers are a danger to any ill-prepared enemy.

120 Reidonez
Cavalry / Melee Cavalry / (AOR_5_Germanic_Cavalry)
Reidonez
(Germanic Cavalry)

Reidonez ride small and sometimes poor quality horses, though they are excellent light cavalry. They are useful as scouts as well as skirmishers. However, like many Germanic warriors, they can lack battle-discipline and be overeager to enter battle against worthy opponents. This can lead them to be headstrong and difficult to restrain before a fight, as personal glory gained in battle is always welcome. Honour and standing come from fighting, and sometimes the urge for glory overwhelms their good sense!

Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Ara_raiders)
Gunud haMadnakha
(East Coast Levies)

These raiders and pirates dominate the military stage of Eastern Arabia. They are light infantry equipped with padded armour worn over their tunics and wicker shields, giving them some protection against arrows. They are swift, agile troops, and their spears give them an edge against light cavalry.

175 Qala'in Arabi
Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Ara_Slingers)
Qala'in Arabi
(Arabian Slingers)

Slingers are common in Arabian armies, being levied from the nomadic tribes. These men are mostly lower class herders. The tribesmen are not wealthy, so they march to war in only simple garments, carrying a light shield and their own, often homemade sling, in addition to a dagger for self-defence.
