Afrighids Melee Infantry

Dailamite Warriors

The Dailamites were people of the mountains. Although it has been suggested that they originated nearer the Tigris River in Anatolia, they nevertheless made their home in the Alborz, a mountain range to the north of what is now modern-day Iran. Known for their fierceness, Dailamite men were employed by the Sassanid Empire as high-quality infantry during the wars of late antiquity. At the end of this period, when the Rashidun Caliphate swept through the east, the stalwart Dailamites successfully resisted the Arab conquest from the Alborz, becoming known as the Muslims’ most perfidious enemy. It was not until the rise of the Seljuk Turks in the 11th century that the indomitable strength of the Dailamites finally began to wane.
