Avars
The Avars (also known as the Pannonian Avars), are an alliance of Eurasian nomadic peoples. They are Eurasian Steppes people who primarily had a Khaganate east of Austria pushing to near the Black Sea. They originally came from the Caucasus region between the Black Sea and Caspian sea. They have made it to the other side of the Black sea and have not left. They are at times allied to some of the local Slavs, and they are looking to settle. Originally their Khaganate was in the latter region, and were at war with the Byzantium Empire, which eventually broke up their empire.
They are expert horsemen, like many of the Steppes people, and will act as mercenaries when needed. Aggressive and well armed, they will seize any opportunity to bring their superior mounted troops to bear. This has been diminished of late by attacks on their holdings in the Carpathian Basin by Frankish troops.
