The People of the Great Eastern Plains, the Horselords.
Score: 102 | 4/4/15 |
These fierce, wild people of the Eastern plains wear colorful clothing woven from plains grass and dyed all manner of colors. They are quick to laugh and playful amongst themselves but they distrust outsiders and a shadow of solemnity passes over everything they say and do in their homeland, so that even with their sharp and sudden voices, even with their bright and contrasting colors, their strange and varied fashions, even with their endless feasting and boasting and partying it is all as shouts into the wind, drowned and muted in the vast, empty plains that stretch out beyond the horizon and the endless, deafening, waves in the grass. As they say themselves, "Apuh yah suhsid", we are all dust in the wind. The Yahkpray serve as mercenary groups and caravan guards in other nations, and have a somewhat deserved reputation for banditry, especially in hard times. The major exports of the plains are dyes and textiles. On the whole the Yahkpray are fairly poor by international standards. The Yahkpray are integrally tied to their sentient mounts, the krahs.
