They idolise valour, but especially like it when mixed with a bit of mischief - the cattle thief who can whisk an entire herd into the fog the champion who dines with a rival tribe, and, regaling his hosts with an anecdote of battle, produces from his bag the skull of one of their kinsmen that he took as a souvenir.īattanian Lords tell us that the previous high king of Battania, High king Aeril, disappeared.Īdditionally, the Encyclopedia tells us a bit more about Battania.

They are masters of the longbow, the night raid, the sudden wild charge out of the woods. Their hilltop fortresses have born witness to countless wars fought to resist outside invaders: first the Empire's legions, and more recently the rising Sturgian and Vlandian kingdoms. The misty hills of north-western Calradia are dominated by the Battanian clans, the original inhabitants of much of the continent. 'Such unruly cattle as my people require a strong herdsman's hand to steer them from the ravine and protect them from the wolf,' said one recent high king, just before he was betrayed by a jealous cousin and taken in chains to the nearest imperial outpost.
