Shivatir-i Zrehbaran
(Parthian Cataphract Horse Archers)

These horsemen are the elite of the Parthian kingdom; they are highly trained, manoeuverable, and hard-hitting heavy cavalry. The use of skirmishing and rapid manoeuvers by shock cavalry are important elements of Parthian battles, and the Zradha Shivatir are masters at this.

Savar-i Zubindar
(Dahae Skirmisher Cavalry)

These Dahae tribesmen fill a vital role in the clan host. While they do make excellent skirmishers, this is not their only calling. They are warriors of the steppe and wield spears with skill and courage, willing to close with the enemy when the odds are in their favour.

Asavaran-i Dehbed
(Parthian Noble Horse Archers)

The Dehbeds are members of the Azat nobility of Parthia, and can afford better equipment than typical horse archers, including scale armour and a lance. They rely on the composite bow to weaken their enemy before closing for melee. The Dehbed cavalry is a very flexible force, extremely mobile and able to provide concentrated archery or, when required, to drive home a charge.

120 Jamsya Yukhuna Duna Purma
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.
