Getikoi Hippotoxotai
(Dacian Horse Archers)

The Getae horse archers have a long and proud tradition, having developed superb skills in confrontations with the Scythians and Sarmatians. These warriors are not drawn from every Getic tribe, but from the tribes living in the Danube delta or from the Agathyrsoi living inside the arch of the Karpathes. The Hellenes called all men living in modern-day Romania and northern Bulgaria for Getai after this tribe, while the Romans called them Dacians, which is the norm today.

Mezenai
(Dacian Horse Skirmishers)

These horsemen form the mounted counterparts of the Komatai war bands. They ride into battle in studded leather armour and trousers, and carry javelins and short swords. Their nimble horses allow for very good performance in any type of terrain; they are often used to screen flanks and pursue broken enemy formations.

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."
