Description
Caucasia is a mountainous land encompassing the modern nations of Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan. Due to its rocky terrain, it tempts those who live there to just pick up a rock and fling it at a Roman (or Parthian) head. These are the men who have taken up flinging rocks as a profession, and you better believe it, these men are not to be underestimated. I learned that the hard way… They wear the signature Armenian Hershey's Kisses helmet, and go into battle with some metal plating, allowing them to dish out as well as take some damage.
