Arabika Wargaming Races

Barbars

The Barbars are the
most primitive race, but have the advantage of living near the river
in the green land, their guerrilla tactics and great numbers making
them impossible to drive out. They wear little clothing, decorate
themselves with feathers and war paint, and fight with spears, bows,
axes, and daggers, protecting themselves only with wooden armor and
shields.

Kjempe

The Kjempe are noble
giants. Mysterious and diminished in number, they are the rulers of
the Sydlig and Nordlig. The Kjempe were responsible for uniting the
two peoples in the first place. Their warriors, called knights, wear
functional plate armor and shields in battle and fight with a variety
of weapons from axes, broadswords, maces, and flails to lances and
spears.

Nordlig

The Nordlig live in the
North and, though more numerous than the Sydlig, are otherwise very
similar to them. They are slightly more suspicious and greedy, living
near the Drages Hode Lake, and loathe the Barbars with an intense
hatred. The Kjempe, for this reason, favored the Sydlig, and so
slight tensions have built up between the Kjempe and their northern
subjects. The Nordlig wear helmets, shields, scale mail, and greaves,
and fight with spears, bows, swords and daggers.

Sydlig

The Sydlig are the less
numerous of the two greatest races of Arabika, and live in the South
near the delta of the Drage River. The only difference between the
two is that the Sydlig have slightly darker skin and clothes, due
mainly to the fact that they are closer to the equator and thus in a
hotter climate. The Sydlig fight similarly to the Nordlig.
