Guich Cavalry

a_guich_cavalry

The Guich Cavalry are the standing cavalry of the Moroccan Maḵzan — jīš tribesmen, of usually Arab origin, settled on arḍ al-jayš and holding their plots free of tax for as long as they ride. They are soldier-cultivators and not nobles, with no lineage of their own to fall back on, and that is precisely why the sultan trusts them: a corps whose standing depends entirely upon the crown. Mounted and paid in land, they carry the sultan's writ into country where a tax collector alone would not be heeded, and they cost the treasury less than any force that must be paid in coin.
