Default Question: 13th Century Novgorod Military

I'm doing a position based on the Novgorod republic for late era. They're going to be frostlings (same stats as Vaetti, more or less).

They've got reduced-strength theurgs (to be russian orthodox) as well as vaetti hags. I'm digging through russian folklore for more national summons to go with the frost queens and winter glows (from being frostlings.)

They get wolf riders instead of cavalry - otherwise, how was their military equipped and organized? Their victories over the teutonic knights involved cavalry and archers is all I really know.

Any of you military history buffs care to help me out?

EDIT: okay, no cyrillic support, fine. "Theurgy" is generally just translated as "Magiya", which is presumably cognate to Magic. If that is the word Vladimir Lossky uses to discuss orthodox theology, great.

Arkhimagichiy
Magichiy
(sub-)Magichiy

But I don't speak russian, so this is mostly guesswork.
