Ukars

The Ukars are a nomadic race of horsemen who were once found across the entire continent of Iberia. Today, their home is the area between Arvas, Bruma, and Bravil known as the Reach.

History
The early Ukar people were peaceful nomads who cultivated vast herds of sheep and horses. However, as the three kingdoms of northern Iberia expanded and began large scale agriculture, the grazing lands of the Ukars were stolen. The Ukars, refusing to settle, simply marched their herds wherever necessary. Naturally, this led to conflict with the kingdoms so the Ukars were forced to develop their now famed fighting strategy of terror through hit-and-run and fast attack.

This brutal lifestlyle of nomadic encroachment continued until the invasion of General Brutus. Brutus's armies were being constantly harrased and picked off by Ukars who refused to accept him as their king. When Brutus attacked Arvas, King Lazlo V the Great allied with the Ukars and together they defeated Brutus at the Battle of Revan's Crossing where a great warrior, Severyn Barkev, killed General Brutus with a throwing spear and was named Hetman.

Hetman Severyn and King Lazlo then signed the Pact of the Reach. This agreement gave the Ukar people the segment of land between all three of the northern kingdoms, the Reach. The Ukars could always let their herds graze here and in return, the Ukars shall provide horses and warriors to the Kings of Arvas.

Appearance
Ukars are dark-haired with rough skin and small eyes. Most are bow-legged because of the extensive time they spend on their horses.
