[quote=@Willy Vereb] They shouldn't be your main opponent for sure. Some of them are currently even serving Yllendthyr. They are more like a border concern at best since the tribes aren't united and you can only expect raiding parties rather than anything close to a legitimate invasion. [/quote] [quote=@Crispy Octopus] I'm tweaking the original idea a bit here. The Yemarae's animosity in this scenario would mostly be directed west where there was significant Yemarae settlement in the past. While I doubt they'd be best buddies with the eastern nomads they'd have no oral histories of massacres or betrayals in the east. The original deal would have been a sort of 'no down side' for the Yemarae. Free money and a way to enact some token revenge on the west without losing a single warrior? Of course now that the remnants of the nomads are integrating with the Yemarae things are decidedly more complicated. A lot of this is still percolating in my head and I need to talk to [@Liotrent] but I've got a good idea of how the Yemarae will fit into this world now. [/quote] Both of you: Ah, that'd be interesting.
