Horse-Lords of Sceard

"Axe-time, sword-time, shield be splintered! Wind-time, wolf-time, ere the world's ending! Ride now, for ruin!" On the windward side of Mount Eremite, live Men. These folk do not write poems, chronicles, or stories, as the Dwarfs of Mount Eremite do, but they sing many songs. The people of Sceard - a name literally meaning "notch" or "scar" in their rough tongue - are a simple lot, mostly living as herdsmen or farmers. Their land is one of green grass, a stark contrast to the Tar-Namib desert. Yet, there is no jealousy or enmity between the Dwarfs and the Men of Sceard. Rather, there is fellowship - a recognition of kindred souls. As with the Dwarfs of Mount Eremite, the horse-lords are ever watchful for evil in their lands. The common folk and noble alike know well the terror of the unquiet dead, of the goblin raiders, and of the moon-dwarfs. They counter such threats with their cavalry. There is perhaps no finer example of such a force in the Southern Marches. In Sceard, great horses, the Eoh, wander the seas of tall grass . Only a select few men, of noble birth, are given leave to bridle these horses. A lesser man would simply be killed by the Eoh. Fighting from the backs of these mighty mounts, the Horse-Lords lead their kin to war.

Mount Eremite, and the surrounding enivorns...

Mount Eremite lies thousands of miles from the nearest mountain range, in an oasis of the Great Tar Namib Desert. By no means is it a small or petty peak. Within its depths, lies a wealth of riches. As such, a Dwarfish Hold has been founded within Mount Eremite.

The Stonehelm clan has ruled over the Hold for three generations, having come from the north at the behest of its people. Horek Stonehelm is the current ruler, and by all accounts, he is a wise and just king. He rules over both craftsman and warrior with even temper and cool blood. Also subject to Horek are a small community of Halflings. Having come to Mount Eremite during the reign of his father, Caiaphas, they set up shop in the foothills. They trade the food that they grow for the goods produced by the Dwarfs, and offer up warriors in times of need. Halfling food is much preferred to the standard fare of cave-growing mushrooms in Mount Eremite. And though small, the Halflings make for doughty, determined warriors.

Probably going to replace the Fyreslayer guy with the metal Oathmark King sculpt.
