Zhayedan
Zhayedan (''Immortals'') were warriors of an elite unit within the Sassanian army, numbering 10,000 men.〔Sassanian elite cavalry AD 224-642 By Kaveh Farrokh; (p. 6 )〕 They are possibly modeled on the former Immortals, who served the rulers of the Achaemenid Empire, and possibly wore the same clothing as their predecessors. These warriors bore some of the finest quality weaponry and armor of the entire Sassanian army. The Zhayedan were led by a commander bearing the title of "Varhranighan-khvadhay." ==Appearances in battles== Zhayedan soldiers were a form of cataphracts, a type of heavy cavalry shock troops. Although elite warriors, they do not have much role in the wars involving Rome, as they were kept as reserves alongside the generals (Spah). When used, they would inflict high casualties on the enemy. Kaveh Farrokh writes in ''Shadows in the Desert: Ancient Persia at War'' that they were used often against the Arabs in the 7th century. Their appearances include the Battle of Dara, the Battle of Avarayr, Battle of the Bridge, and the Battle of al-Qādisiyyah.
