        A friend of mine told me yesterday that he saw an excellent documentary on reindeer riders, from near Mongolia. He said the reindeer rider tribes lived a lifestyle that was very similar to Praxians, though a lot colder, living off their beasts almost completely, having a religion that is tied up with their beasts, and riding them.

	Anyone else have interesting examples of real world riding beasts?
	And which Gloranthan ones are the silliest? Rhinos?
