    Default Sauromatae AAR : Saga of the Green Dragon


    Saga of the Green Dragon
    Campaign Hard/Medium Battle w/ City mod v2.1, Darth_AI_8.0, RP_modeV1.1


    The scouts dismounted and the covered wagons formed a circle and halted. Men and women got out of these kibitka wagons and began preparing tents, yurts, and fires. There was a look of insecurity on the weathered faces of the elderly and a vague understanding of impending doom in the children’s eyes. Huns were advancing from the east, and with Germans to the West, Dacians to the south, and Romans beyond them… these Sarmations were not in a good situation. But as tradition would demand, the King gathered his kinsmen and they took heart in the preservation of the old ways and the strength and guile of the young men.
    A young boy, only thirteen, but already a great rider and showing signs of bow-leggedness, scrambled around the grand camp searching for someone.

    “Prince, how do you do?”
    “I am well elder, what stories will you tell me today?”

    The ageless bard put down a old skull he was pondering and turned to the boy. He thought for a bit...

    “You are the Prince, I think it is high time for you to learn more about your people’s glory days…”
    “Oh no, please not a lecture, I don’t…”
    “A story… about great hordes of riders, glorious deeds, and your dynasty.”
    “Alright Bard, go on…..”
    "We shall begin with the reign of Abeakos."

    *This first section will go from 272 BC to 266 BC telling the tale of Abeakos' reign and includes 100 pictures

    Nice this seems, tales around a camp fire... Don't forget those steppe wanderers were famous for their hardcore use of good old hemp!

    Reign of Abeakos
    The Gathering

    Summer of 272 BC
    High King Abeakos gathers all riders that can be spared at Gava-Yazyga. Messengers are sent to Uspe to recruit Ragon Sauromatae Uaezdaettae, Gava-Roxsalanni to call for foot archers, and Gava-Aursa to find Babai. A Horde is being united… a sea of horsemen, a wave of spears, and a spray of arrows…. That is the vision of Abeakos, and he, as the first High King of this strongly united federation, has called his kinsmen. Great peril lies ahead though, for leaving the steppe camps near undefended to fight for riches in faraway lands against powerful peoples is a gamble… a gamble that may cost the freedom of the Sauromatae….
    The plan had been revised over and over… Rastbarag the diplomat would head south to the steppe’s-end-mountains. There he would find the Hayasdan and using diplomacy as a pretext, find out what sort of army the Armenians had… the horsemen of the Sauromatae would unite and ride south until they found the city of the Haikakan and destroy them once and for all.

    Abeakos rode for a season with his men, and suddenly things began to foretell a doomed mission… a Maeot raid on his camp… their Chief Ardabur had been watching the prosperous Sauromatae with covetous eyes for a long time and now he chose to strike at their High King …the battle begins


    "The High King wasn’t a High King for no reason. Despite his use of Haoma he was a great tactician…"


    Abeakos knew exactly what to do. Dividing his forces into two wings his force advanced showering arrows onto the left and right flanks of the enemy.









    Victory! Abeakos found Ardabur crushed beneath his own Maeot steed and chuckled. He grabbed the cold head and ripped it off its limp neck. He added another "cup" to his collection. He soon reaches Uspe....



    "What happens after that Bard?! Tell me, tell me!"
    "Shut up! I mean.... patience Prince... I am getting there..."

    I want more, and I want it now
    I love it can't wait till you post the rest
    "I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose history is ended, whose wars have been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, whose literature is unread, whose prayers are no longer answered.... For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a new Armenia!

    William Saroyan, 1935.
