Sarminian (culture)
The Sarminians are a matriarchal culture hailing from the far eastern edge of the lands now lost to the Fog, where the thick forests thinned into hills and steppes, and the vast empire of Kathun-Kai is a more relevant threat than the distant Aversaria. Their histories say that they were the western flank of a much larger nomadic federation, a rival and purported military equal to the Kathunians, but when the Frodbrokna struck and the rest of their nation fled east, the Sarminians were unable to follow as the sea of Fog cut off the route.
Forced to flee away from their kith and kin, they pushed deep into the west before encountering the Imperrech. Since joining forces with the Witch-Breaker on the promise of new lands, the Sarminians have proven themselves fearsome warriors and as horsewomen skilled enough to rival the Kikarsags and Vhanavids.
