The Parthians belong to a great family of horse-riding tribes who have dominated the areas east of the Caspian for centuries. The Dahae are wild, undisciplined horsemen, the unruly cousins of the Parthians, who have retained the ancient ways of raiding and banditry. Drawn to the recent successes of the Parthian kings, they seek to enrich themselves with the plunder of the south. But they are fickle men and lack the discipline and stalwart nature of the true Parthian warrior, so they must be used them with care.
