Curiouser and curiouser. I can't imagine the Rathori being anything BUT foot troops?
First, as I'd mentioned before, I don't think the Rathori raid the Char un
for a number of reasons, but my contentious nature doesn't prevent me from
nosing in a little:
If first we have:

If the Char Un use them for food, and most of the hoofprints represent beasts sans riders, doesn't that mean that they'd have LOTS of remounts? Even considering that many might be swayback nags...
Anyway, I still don't think it's worth it to raid the Char Un.
