For Grazers, I'd go with American Plains Indians as a base, though perhaps higher in material goods (with the vendref and the Issaries trading posts). Or Scythians. Their military is pure cavalry (some light skirmishers, others heavy lancers). Oh, and no doubt shamans ride with them as magical support.

I agree, the Pharoah is an outsider, not necessarily an Esrolian.
Hey, I lost touch with Sean. He's still in the Austin area? Tell him I said "hi!"
