Mulaṯṯamūn Spearmen

The Mulaṯṯamūn Spearmen are the Ṣanhāja warriors of the western Sahara, named for the liṯām they never set aside — the Lamtūna clansmen whose ranked spear formations carried the strict Mālikī reform doctrine of Ibn Yāsīn, and afterwards the arms of Yūsuf ibn Tāšfīn, from the Saharan erg to the Ebro valley. Their front rank sets the long pike and the ranks behind loose the javelin, every man of them behind an oryx-hide lamt shield, veiled so that only the sockets of the eyes are seen. Their high morale derives from a religious commitment that no purely secular military tradition can match. The empire those spearmen built is long fallen, but the Maghreb has never forgotten how they fought, and our Ṣanhāja polity fields their heavy-foot corps still.
