Herders

Herders spend most of their lives above ground, looking after the herds of enuk or baruk. They are often called upon to support the militias with their accurate slingstaves.

Local militia are supported by fubarnii from the local herding families. These fubarnii live a life outside the comforting tunnels of the villages, instead spending their time on the plains and hillsides, protecting their herds of livestock from raiding devanu jenta or hungry beasts. The herders are rarely seen without their well-trained enuk or carrying their long slingstaves and a supply of smooth and deadly stones. Experienced herders called Reyad will lead bands of slingers or light cavalry, focusing their attacks on critical targets. The light cavalry are often the first on the scene when there is trouble. They usually have the sense to keep their distance until the heavy support arrives.
