Castaros
Real-world touchstone: Iberian frontier cultures — open country, riders, sun-scorched independence.
Castaros is a reach of open, windswept thrash and dark, thorny scrub with almost no solid ground in it, home to free tribes who ride the waves on light outriders and wiry, sure-footed corvairs across country that breaks lesser travelers. Castarosi are brown-skinned and dark-haired, close-knit and self-reliant, more likely to trust a mount than a stranger. Life on the open waves rewards toughness and a good ear for weather; most Castarosi grow up fluent in both.
A Castarosi legionnaire tends to travel light and complain little — life on the open thrash doesn't leave room for either excess baggage or excess softness. They're often excellent scouts, pilots and riders, and just as often deeply unimpressed by anyone who's never had to break camp in a storm.
