The Nomads
Forsaken by their god Yaka, and driven from a realm of riches and power, the Nomads dream of conquest while drifting like the blowing sands of their forlorn desert home. These people are a mix of the once great Azrac Empire and their human conquerors, who fled brutal conflicts of their own. Their culture is rich with stories of strong family tribes, fortunate wanderers, revenge and slavery. Perhaps it is because they have no set boundaries and claim no fixed kingdoms that they have embraced the decadent practice of enslaving outsiders. Every Nomad family has a tent of differing size, which determines their status in society. They are quick and able on horseback, or camel, and despite the size of their dwellings, they lash their canvas and wooden structures to the backs of their slaves, camels and their greatest beast of burden, the elephant, rendering the whole city mobile.
Nomad units are the most mobile in the game. Even their archers are mounted. Other Nomad units come from the nomad's slavery trade. The Slaver can capture enemies on the battlefield, while the four-armed Pit Guard can bring down the strongest monsters. |
