The Nomad Herds
The descendants and the inheritors of the traditions of the wandering warring clans that used to traverse and harass the Pre-Empire lands and nations.
They have become far more peaceful travelers since the Als Alour conquering of the human nation and tolerated no large-scale conflict within its borders. While the herds could sustain themselves by preying on the divided nations, a united empire proved far too much of a threat.
Contrary to the popular imagery of the herds being travelling barbarians of furs and tents, the nomads have rather advanced carriages made by their own hands. Their vehicles are top of the line in minimalist designs. Druidic magic combined with Ironwood and expertly crafted impact-resistant, heavy-duty gears and springs that allow for significant weight to be transported in a single vehicle while allowing for smooth riding through suspension, making them mostly unaffected by rough terrain.
They have even created all-terrain vehicles that utilizes multiple sets of large Waterwood wheels and Giant Airball Bat leather air bags, sown with threads made from Ironvine and pumped full with a Giant’s breath upon aquatic travel.
