Thanks for the Steppe Stories and feeding my abiding fascination with the Steppe Peoples. I recently told my wife that female Sarmatian Horse Warriors were not allowed to marry until they'd killed a male enemy in battle using her bow and arrows from a moving horse. I also mentioned I thought that was incredibly hot. She then mentioned that I would be a pelt on one of those women's tent wall.

A lot of issues in that area still unresolved and festering since 1918 (check out Hermanstadt vs. Brasov and Transylvania region). Your work indulges my curiosity and enjoy it immensely. Thank you!
