Karasali Herder

Karasali herds resemble the huge ranches of the American West, and the karasali herder bears a close resemblance to the Cowboy. Every year, they drive the cattle to the markets of the Silver Shadow satrapy. They are forbidden to drive the catle to Glamour itself, but a number of other cities in the Silver Shadow serve as depos for the thousands of cattle from the Jarasal plains. Herders spend most of their time in the saddle, and make excellent light cavalry.
