Bands of desert cavalrymen are often drawn towards the Mediterranean world to offer their services to the highest bidder as tough light cavalry who are at home in hot, dry conditions. They make excellent scouts, and can sweep down on a broken foe or an exposed unit of skirmishers, but their lack of formal military training means they are at a disadvantage in a serious fight.

Armed with scimitar-style swords and equipped with shields made from woven reeds, they wear no armour due to the heat of the desert sun. Instead, they cover themselves with traditional robes, which are also protection against roaring sandstorms.
