Daha Uazdaettae
(Dahae Noble Cavalry)These noblemen can harass an enemy line like skirmishers and charge into unprotected flanks and rears when the opportunity presents itself. Daha Uazdaettae are equipped with composite bows and lances making them a versatile and dangerous foe.
With raiding as a way of life for many tribes, mounted archery was established early in eastern culture, producing some highly effective warriors. While foot archers could carry long, powerful bows, a mounted archer was a formidable fighter thanks to his composite bow. Constructed from layers of wood, sinew and animal horn, the composite bow was a much more powerful weapon than its size alone would suggest. In the hands of an expert an arrow on target was entirely capable of piercing chainmail armour. It did, however, require strength and care to use: in particular, it had to be kept away from damp. Military campaigns were usually fought during the summer and autumn, so bows were used during arid months. Archers could rest their weapons during the winter, taking good care of them before the next campaigning season.
