The Tiger Nomads are tough and hardy horsemen
who dwell on the prairies above the Yatil Mountains.
They are herdsmen and hunters, roaming from the
Burneal Forest to the foothills of the Yatils, the Dramidj Ocean
to the banks of the Fler. Because of their
proximity to more civilized states, these nomads have
established a few towns && villages, mine silver and
gems, and conduct a fair amount of trade with both
Ekbir and Perrenland. Naturally, they likewise raid
both places and war continually with the tribes of the
Burneal and their cousinss to the east, the Wolf Nomads.
These people are Baklunish, and most do not
even speak the common tongue of the Flanaess.
Their banners bear the likeness of a tiger, tiger tails,
etc. The Ilkhan's robe of state is a tiger skin, reportedly
that from a sabre-tooth, while the lesser khans
wear the pelts of normal tigers. Tiger nomads move
about on horseback, with carts carrying tents and
other possessions. Their main force consists of light
cavalry armed with horn bows and lances. There is a
small percentage of better-protected cavalry which is
comparable to medium. Infantry never accompanies a
tuman or horde on the march, except if the whole
people is moving. Small garrison forces of footmen
are stationed in permanent settlements such as Yecha.
