Alans (Related peoples: Scythians, Sarmatians) - Iranian-speaking nomadic tribes of Scythian-Sarmatian origin, mentioned in written sources from the 1st century AD. e. - the time of their appearance in the Azov and Ciscaucasia.
Part of the Alans from the end of the IV century took part in the Great Migration of Peoples, while others settled in the territories adjacent to the foothills of the Caucasus.
The tribal union of the Alans became the basis of Alania, an early feudal state in the central Ciscaucasia, which existed before the Mongol campaign.Mongols,defeated Alania and captured the fertile plains of the Ciscaucasia by the end of the 1230s, forced the surviving Alans to take refuge in the mountains of the Central Caucasus
and in Transcaucasia. There one of the groups of Alans, with the participation of local tribes, gave rise to the modern Ossetians.
Almost all Alans are handsome and tall. They are fair-haired and their eyes are ferocious. They stick a sword into the ground and worship it like Mars.
