South of Parthia lies Persia, a land with a long history of warfare. These Persian foot soldiers were low-born men trained well with the bow but lacking any close-combat ability. They have poor morale and discipline, and should never meet the enemy face to face. That said, they are inexpensive and their arrows will help darken the skies and rain death.
