Bossonian

The yeomen of the Bossonian Marches are renowned the world over for their archery skills and stalwart, well-nigh unconquerable defence. They are of medium height and complexion and have brown or grey eyes. They are descended from an aboriginal race that was conquered by a tribe of Hyborians early in the first ages of the Hyborian drift. Many have a strong if rough sense of justice; the civilised code of honour is common among the Bossonian soldiery. The Bossonians are generally quite closely allied with Aquilonia but often see service as mercenaries throughout the world.   Culture: The Bossonians live mainly by agriculture, in large walled villages and are part of the Aquilonian kingdom. They are hardy, stubborn, defensive fighters. Centuries of warfare against northern and western barbarians have caused them to evolve a type of defence that is almost impregnable. The Bossonian Marches form a bulwark between Aquilonia and the woods of the Pictish Wilderness in the west, Cimmeria to the north and the Border Kingdom in the east, curving crescentlike around to Zingara in the Southwest.   Religion: As with the Aquilonians, the Bossonians were once worshippers of Bori but in more recent years have taken up Mitra-worship.   Bossonians have Germanic names, and these have carried over into their settlements in the southern Westermarck. Here, a man's name is incomplete without the name of his father: Jon Galter's son (ie, Jon, son of Galter), Gault Hagar's son, Ortho Gorm's son.
