Yeah, see SUN COUNTY. The Prax Sun Domers used chariots, until their herds died out during the Solitude of Testing. They once had a squadron/ legion/armada (what do you call a whole lot of chariots?) called The Golden Axles, which was annihilated in the Dragonkill War. Now only the Count has a chariot (golden, naturally) which is only used on ceremonial occasions.
I don't have the English edition with me at the moment, so I can't give the page reference. However, the story of the Golden Axles is told in the "Old Sun Dome" section near the back.
[We also made a pretty cool chariot out of a shopping cart for our Roman Triumph at school a few weeks back!]

Guilty as charged m'lud! (Though Mohenjo got changed to Jarst in the editing stages). Having been violently opposed by almost everyone on this topic, I'm going to put my head back down under the parapet!
