Scythan
From Warhammer - The Old World - Lexicanum
The Scythan are a tribe of Arabyan nomads who serve Tomb Prince Tutankhanut of Numas. [1a]
Contents
Appearance
They favour black robes and white horses. [1a]
History
They first came to the city to worship their god, but have recognised the ruling Prince as an avatar of their diety. Now they patrol his domain, seeking intruders and live in harmony with the dead. [1a]
Rituals
When a warrior of the tribe dies, his body is left out in the desert for the carrion to clean his bones. Then after forty days and nights it is taken to the tombs to be prepared and animated, continuing to serve the Prince in undeath. [1a]
