Horse Tribes of Sythania (See-tha-nee-ah)

During the Muabin's golden age of expansionism, their mighty leader decided to bully these nomadic folk and invaded their lands. The result was an immense loss for the Muabin who lost their ruler and left the lands unceremoniously. Thus grew the legend of the Sythanian horse riders, to be feared throughout the region.
It is said that both the Ulnucs and the Chunoi were originally Sythanian tribes.
Though the once mighty tribes of Sythania have now been almost subdued.
The Sythanian are fierce horsemen and frightening warriors but they eventually started losing ground to the expanding might of the Violet Empire, they also once part of the Sythanian tribes.
Eventually, the war was settled and the might of Tvor would ensure the survival of their nomadic lifestyle in return for their menpower if needed.
The Sythanian elite loves it's share of gold and ostentatious personal finery, though any who mistake this golden luxury for decadence usually die on the points of their spears.
Their armies are mostly cavalry, both expert missile and shock.
The Sythanian are animist, worshiping the horse and the stars.
