warrior from Great Moravia

Warrior from GREAT MORAVIA, a West Slavic state that emerged in Central Europe in 833 AD until its collapse around 907 AD, when its territories were conquered by the semi-nomadic Magyars (Hungarians) that had recently migrated into Europe from western Siberia. Great Moravia adopted Christianity, first from the neighbouring Carolingian Empire to its west, and later from the Byzantine missionaries Cyril and Methodius, that also created and brough to Great Moravia the Glagolitic script, the first alphabet specifically dedicated to a Slavic language (a predecessor to the later Cyrillic alphabet that would spread to the East Slavs from the First Bulgarian Empire).
