Culture and history/background: The Volkovski are a tall wild people. Living in the snowy wastes and mountain ranges of the Northern Iropia, their harsh homeland gives the Volkovski people a natural toughness. Known for their excellent horsemanship and fierce heavy infantry, the Volkovski are infamous throughout Iropia as brave and courageous warriors, albeit undisciplined and prone to rashness. Their intense focus on the thrill of melee and shock combat leaves the Volkovski severely lacking in ranged infantry and cavalry, while their impatience and thirst for combat makes sieges and long campaigns difficult to sustain. The Volkovski people believe in one of the many groups of Old Gods of Iropia, having 3 specific Animist deities that serve as the basis for their deeply engrained caste system. The Horse, Wolf, and Fox serve as the three castes of their society. They value bravery, combat, death in battle, the thrills of liquor and the warmth of women. Faith is a central part of the Volkovski people. The Volkovski are excellent hunters, trackers, and trappers, excelling in the lucrative fur trade of Iropia.
Being one of the few peoples unconquered by the Iropians, the Volkovski find pride in their long held independence, swearing to never bend the knee to a foreign ruler. Past incursions and invasions into neighboring lands have left deep marks in relationships with their neighbors, particularly the *Insert names*, who once claimed the Northern Mountains as theirs. This bad blood and fierce independence makes the Volkovski Host vilified by its southern neighbors, who swore that the Volkovski Host will be broken apart one day.
