Peasant Horsemen
Stoic Cathayan cavalry, as expendable as they are dutiful. The Celestial Emperor thanks them for their sacrifice.The armies of Grand Cathay are vast, and if there is one thing the Dragon Emperor does not want for, it is men and women to fill their ranks. Horsemen are a common sight in the provinces, the horse being as prolific a beast of burden and transport as it is in the Old World. Cathayan generals use these highly-mobile troops primarily as scouts, though they can also be used to lure away enemy troops or draw them into ambushes.
