Centuries ago, the Greek, Persian, and Assyrian empires held vast lands and wealth. But rumors spread of a fearsome enemy from the lands above the Black Sea. These horse - riding warriors, both men and women, were skilled with swords, axes, and bows. They weren't mere savages; their artisans crafted detailed gold trinkets, made leather armor, and improved the recurve bow. They trained eagles for hunting and war, possibly inspiring the Greek tales of the Amazons. They are the Raiders of Scythia.
