Description
If the Scythians are the greatest of all men - and who can deny that? - Then the Royal Scythians are the greatest of all Scythians. They are a small tribe, true, but their men are bred for war and leadership. They commission the best weapons and armour from the Greek metal smiths, and their bravery is legendary. While most Royal Scythians fight on horseback, in the manner of our ancestors, the Guards are drilled to fight on foot. These men are trained to confront the horsemen of Sarmatia. On foot, they use their composite bows to deadly effect, and when the enemy cavalry charge, they close ranks and fend them off with long spears. But more than this, these men are born leaders -- their status as members of the Royal tribe inspires confidence in their brother Scythians.
