Line 98:
The Thurid dynasty’s internal stability and longevity seems to suggest a strong military, too. One major source, the Report on West Port, which was smuggled out of Aslough before the ritual book burnings of the 19th century, describes the state of the West Port garrison at the end of the year 325. Judging by this report, the backbone of the Thurid army was the cavalry. The Heavy Cavalry was armed with spears and chainmail, while the Light Cavalry were armed with composite bows. The report seems to suggest that infantry was rarely used, which would be ideal for the Aivintian terrain. The report also points out a shortage of iron that year, which meant that the Thurids did not control a steady source of raw materials for weapons and armor.
