Saldaea The largest of the Border nations, Saldaea is larger than Shienar and Arafel combined. The Saldaeans are known for their tilted, almond-shaped eyes. While as ferocious in battle as any of the Border nations, their equestrian skills are undoubtedly superior. The Saldaeans are the greatest light cavalry in the world. For Saldaeans, war is a family affair. The wives of officers and nobles accompany their husbands on all campaigns except those into the Blight. While not trained with the sword,
Saldaean girls are quite skilled both with knives and in hand-to-hand combat. All Saldaeans are armed with at least a knife at all times; in The Saldaean economy is strong. Built upon the trade of furs, wood, and ice peppers, Saldaean goods fetch high prices at markets as far away as Tear. Another important part of Saldaean life is the sa’sara , a dance outlawed by several Saldaean queens for its indecency. While known by virtually every noblewoman, few would ever admit to the knowledge. Apparently, the sa’sara has the ability to drive men wild. The sa’sara is known to have started three wars and sparked two rebellions, among many other smaller disturbances. |
