I have always related this work, The Pines of Rome, to the Tuchuk. It has that exotic sense that one would expect from the Mongols, and it is very heroic. I hope that you enjoy...*S*
http://youtu.be/5Eea2cXkd6cThe beginning is a rejoicing in Turia during a peaceful time. There is drinking, shopping and such going on, and the kajirae are getting to eat rare treats and get a chance to relax. The men also relax, and have 'discussions' with others...and at the end the Turian Guards have to step in...
At 2:36, the Tuchuk are somber, preparing for a battle. The woman are worried, but strong, and the men say a prayer to the skies.
At 5:36, the men are getting their weapons ready, and saddling the kaiila. They ride off, and the women watch them disappear over the plains.
8:58 has the Tuchuk relaxed in the Camp. Migration had went well, and daily tasks go on. kajirae serve with grace at 11:00, and at 12:08 a kajira does a heartfelt dance for her Master. At 14:20 the Camp settles down and sleeps for the evening.
15:46 is the Tuchuk Migrtion. A Merchant Caravan sees a dust cloud appearing on the horizon. Soon, the merchants feel the ground moving, and then see a herd of bosk approaching, led by a huge bull with a gold ring in its nose. The Merchant sends a tarnsman up to see what is going on. The tarnsman sees more bosk as he continues to climb. At 18:26, the tarnsman sees the first of the wagons following the bosk, and as he rises, he can see thousands of wagons moving with military precession.
19:21...The tarnsman sees Dragonslair, and the rest of the Tuchuk wagons, all moving steadily along...following the bosk as they seek their next place to camp.
