Attilla
This is a smaller planet than earth with a single continent, which covers half the surface of the planet. The central lands are extremely inhospitable due to the extremes of temperature exprerienced. But between that and the ocean, there are rich savannah plains interspersed with forests, mountains and lakes. The only city is the site of the original landing by the colonists and is known as Khanasan. It is a metropolis and the capital city.
Attilan live a nomadic life, being borne in the saddle. They are expert horsemen. Attilans respect power and accomplishment and as such a lord of the Attilans always beheads his defeated enemies and has a drinking cup made from his skull as a symbol of his victory. Attilan roughriders go to war on horseback armed with their mighty hunting lance which has an explosive bolt attached to the tip. They are recognisable by their ritual facial scars and long and unkempt hair, but are nevertheless adversaries to be feared. (Ref: Codex Imperial Guard, 2nd ed; Page 17) |
