The Wallachian Scutari

ths_the_wallachian_scutari_advance

In the chaos following the Fourth Crusade, the rulers of Thessaly turned to the semi-nomadic Vlach populations of Great Wallachia to bolster their depleted ranks. By granting these fierce herdsmen autonomy and grazing rights in exchange for military service, the Despotate secured a loyal caste of light infantry and skirmishers who thrived in the rugged Pindus range. These soldiers, known for their mobility and devastating shock tactics, became the primary deterrent against Latin knights and Epirote rivals alike, turning the mountain passes into lethal bottlenecks for any invading force.
