The Khand Easterlings consist of the collection of peoples who occupy the lands south of the Rhun, and all the lands south of there above the Khand. They include the tribes of the Igath, Nuriags, and the Variags. Loosely led by Ovatha IV, the repesent a nation with great potential, but numerous pitfalls to overcome. Their greatest strength lies in their fierce and brave warriors, and especially their much-feared cavalry. Competent commanders and numerous warriors make this mobile threat very real indeed. Additionally, their skilled mages and adequate agents help make up for the lack of political envoys, and the abundant availability of resources provides the Khand Easterlings with a rich base for growth.
