Tornadizos
Drawn out of the Christian kingdoms into Nasrid pay, these men keep their own faith and their own priests while they serve us — the frontier calls them tornadizos regardless, a word it throws at anyone who changes sides in either direction. They bring lance-and-plate technique into our armies, and their armored charge mirrors the gendarmes of Castile and Aragon, yet they ride beside the Granadan Jinetes under the green banners of our emirate. Recruitment is slow, for such men are few, and each one trained in the Christian art of war makes our cavalry an enemy unlike any other Andalusi force the frontier has seen.
