Bows of Ashar

The Bows of Ashar were a mercenary company operating in Suren's Desert during the 7th Century.
Not much is known of the Bows' service record, other than that they were hired by the Sahranic government to aid the Sharaffi Sheikh Ardos al-Halambri during the Battle of Moccara in 667. Shortly afterwards, they were disbanded due to heavy losses during the engagement.
The Bows of Ashar are known to have fielded a force of around one thousand light missile cavalry. They had a highly-organised command structure as far as mercenary companies go, and were capable of advanced manoeuvres on the field of battle. 
The name of the company comes from an obscure Parsanian god, Ashar. It is understood this deity was a god of war and fertility.
