The Bowlkings

Isolated to a crater in the northeast of Pronger Valley, the Bowlkings are proud, ambitious and warlike people. People tend to move in consensus, and don’t have a lot of conflict in their democracy. Their creation myth says that they rode on the meteor that crashed into earth and inherited the crater. They are a conglomerate of banished people and hermits who settled into the crater.
               The Bowlkings form strong bonds with their horses, which they use to push their nation-building and raiding across the region. Their end goal is to create a large, multi-ethnic empire that carries a large degree of loft and prestige, but they have no clue how to achieve that. They engage in diplomacy across the region, but often end up with bad deals, unfair compromises and wasted time. Their ambitions are bigger than their imaginations, and while they strive to conquer tribes and collect tributes, they have no practical plan to put into action for it.
