THE GAASAI

They believe that all the cattle in the world belong to them. They do not hunt wild animals other than lions nor do they farm crops to any extent. The Gaasai of Morvalistan are divided into 5 classes of warriors, the Youths, the Young Moran (painted hair) warriors, the Moran (feathered headdress) men, the Lion Warriors (who have killed a lion in a single combat). The Elite are the Simbasai, these are a select few who have been able to train war lions and control them in battle. The Lion Warriors, Moran and Youths carry swords and knobkerries. The young women fight in a most distracting way - “When they go to war a band of young girls accompanies the force. Each carries several light spears. They most immodestly dressed and their antics on the battlefield quite distracting. They dash about in front of the foe shrieking quite immoral taunts and hurling their spears to disrupt and mesmerise them.”
