African Separatists Missile Infantry

Kurdish Javelinmen

The origins of the Kurds are oft-speculated. One tale suggests they are the children of the Djinn, seraphic servants of King Solomon who remained on earth after their lord's death. Another legend states that the Kurds were founded by Melik Kurdim, a follower of Noah, after the biblical flood. Whatever their origins, the Kurds were first noted as mercenary slingers for the Seleucid Empire and Parthia. They are not referred to as 'Kurds', however, until the time of the Sassanids, when the founder of the empire, Ardashir, battled the Kurds and their leader, Madig. Their loyalty was fluid; they provided military support for both Eastern Rome and the Sassanids throughout antiquity, depending on which power was in overall control of their homelands at the time.
