Lendleland Barbarian

Lendleland Barbarians

The Barbarians of the eastern hills of Lendleland are a group of unruly Human Horse Nomads who respect neither border nor authority, raiding the lands around, from Femphrey in the west to Analand in the east. It was raids by the Lendleland Barbarians which brought Lendleland to the brink of war with its eastern neighbour, Analand, ruled at the time by King Arkle XIX.

As a response to these and other raids, the Analanders began the construction of the Great Wall of Analand which, despite the best efforts of the Lendleland Barbarians, now protects much of Analand. Even so, the Lendleland Barbarians have repeatedly pounded the Great Wall and have been known to attack the less well protected Far Analand from time to time.

The Lendleland Barbarians are split into various tribes; each tribe is led by a ruler called a Battle-Khan. The Lendleland Barbarians appear to be racially and culturally similarity to other nomadic and horse-riding peoples in Allansia and the Old World (e.g. the Tribesmen of the Flatlands). They share a common origin in that both peoples are descended from the horse-nomads of Irritaria. It is also possible the Lendleland Barbarians are related to other tribes of nomads, such as the Kazanids.
