 When a character rides a camel, they use an inflexible saddle that positions the rider on the camel's hump.  This helps distribute the rider's weight comfortably over the animal. Since camels are taller than horses, combat from camelback requires longer and lighter weapons, limiting the choice to [[Spear (weapon)|spears]] and spear-like weapons, [[Bow (weapon)|bows]] and [[Scimitar (weapon)|scimitars]].

-'''Camelback riding''' is a [[Sage Study|sage study]] in the [[Sage Field|field]] of [[Animal Training (sage field)|Animal Training]], which provides the disciplines of managing, packing and breeding camels, enabling the character to train and administer to their health.  This allows the use of [[Camel (wild)|camels]] in [[Combat|combat]], as well as cooperating with the camel in order to survive the most difficult of natural conditions.  Camels are most effective in arid regions, as they are able to traverse wide [[Desert (range)|deserts]], enduring their stony surfaces as well as deep sand, while maintaining [[Dehydration|stores of water]] within themselves.

-Characters without this training are able to "ride" upon camels, but they're unable to manage the [[Animal|animals]] by themselves.  Lacking knowledge, they must rely upon a trained rider or servant to lead the camel.  This is called [[Assisted Riding|assisted riding]].
+Camels play significant roles in [[Combat|combat]], serving as cavalry mounts in some armies; they're also used for transporting goods and people across vast arid terrains.  Their remarkable adaptability allows them to endure extreme heat, stony surfaces, and deep sand, making them invaluable for surviving in harsh natural conditions.  Known for their ability to store water within their bodies, allowing them to go for extended periods without drinking, making camels well-suited for long journeys through water-scarce regions.
 == Characteristics ==
-Camels are used as [[Freight|freight]] animals and for combat.  When ridden, an inflexible saddle seats the rider upon the camel's hump, distributing the rider's weight comfortably over the animal.  As the camel is somewhat taller than the horse, fighting from camelback requires a longer, lighter weapon, so that combatants are limited to [[Spear (weapon)|spears]], [[Bow (weapon)|bows]] and [[Scimitar (weapon)|scimitars]] when mounted.

 A full grown dromedary camel (common in Africa and South Asia) is more than 6 ft. at the shoulder; if a camel had ''withers'', these would be about 19-20 hands high.  A Bactrian camel (Central Asia) can be a foot taller.  Camels can run at strides between 4-14 hexes, and sprint at 15-23 hexes for bursts of two minutes (10 rounds).  Domedaries weigh between 660 and 1,320 lbs., while Bactrian camels weigh between 660 to 2,200.
