#2 ripvanwormer Jan 01, 2006 12:19:46	The Rovers of the Barrens (roughly like the Great Plains cultures of North America) The Tiger and Wolf Nomads (roughly Mongols, though the Wolf Nomads have interbred heavily with the Rovers of the Barrens) The Paynims (roughly Bedouins) The Rhennee (roughly Roma gypsies)

The more Bedu types would be decendents of the survivors of the Baklunish Empire, whereas the more Turkic types came east with the Brazen Horde (see the LGG for details). Similarly, Ull has a very Turkic/Mongol sounding semi-nomadic culture.
