Sumatar

The Sumatar are a powerful confederation of the nomadic peoples that since time immemorial have lived on the fringes of civilisation, to the northeast of the Trandimir, north of the realms of the Tranon. People of the great seas of grass that stretches from the mountains of the Trandimir northwards without end, they are consummate warriors and hunters, and their interaction with the peoples to their south, with their cities and forts, has been infinitely complex, and has played a powerful part in the legends and culture of both civilisations.

While the peoples are ancient beyond history, the Sumatar confederation is not; formed during the early Tranon Empire, it had existed for centuries, often helping to topple regimes with its fast and deep raids into the Trandimir. In peacetime they were formidable allies and mercenaries, and in wartime fearsome foes like shadows; but whichever role they played they had a great part in the history of their southern neighbours.
