Which is why they used their own Sable Tribesmen (left over from the Gbaji Wars) as the initial cavalry arm. Eventually, other tribes hated the Sables for later horses, instead of the Lunars, and the Praxian Sables were ticked off at their Hungry Plateau cousins for not mentioning that their bosses would be using horses. On the other hand, there were already so many other things to hate, like the Lunars not just accepting attacks like proper Groundmen should, but counterattacking and wiping out the raiders. Damn, that's not right, that's just plain Chaotic!
