The '''Relentless Horde''' was made up of [[Wolf Nomads]], [[Tiger Nomads]], and mixed [[Baklunish]] and [[Oeridian]] groups displaced by the conquests of the [[Brazen Horde]] in the early 300s [[Common Year|CY]].


==History==
The Relentless Horde is the name given to the horsemen of the northern [[Flanaess]] when they united under the leadership of Kha-Khan Ogobnuk in (roughly) 320 CY. These were the ancestors of the present day [[Wolf Nomads]] and [[Tiger Nomads]].
After being displaced by the Brazen Horde, the Relentless horde moved from the southern plains of the [[Baklunish Basin]] through the [[Fals Gap]]. Around 320 CY, they cut off the [[Perrenland|Quaglands]] and [[Blackmoor]] from the [[Great Kingdom]] of Aerdy, challenging the [[Rovers of the Barrens]] for dominance of the northern steppes. At its peak, the empire of the Relentless Horde stretched all the way to the [[Griff Mountains]], though they lost the territory east of the [[Fellreev Forest]] to the Rovers within the lifetime of their first Kha-Khan.


In 345 CY the leader of the Relentless Horde, Kha-Khan [[Ogobanuk]], died, and the ilkhan of the Tiger Nomads split from the Horde to form his own nation, the Chakyik. The Wolf Nomads still call themselves the Relentless Horde to this day, believing themselves the true heirs to its power and might.  
During the reign of Ogobnuk, the lands east of the [[Dramidj Coast]] and west of the [[Griff Mountains]] fell under the Horde's sway, although much of the gains to the east were lost by the time of the Horde's disolution. The Horde failed to conquer [[Blackmoor]], but did cut the northern archbarony off from the south, leaving it isolated. The push eastwards drove the [[Rovers of the Barren]] before them, the nation unable to keep pace with the agile nomad raiders. Adapting to the new warfare the Rovers eventually pushed back, costing the Horde its gains in the Rover's lands and and pressing them hard on the [[Dulsi Plains]] as well.<span class="a" style="left:238px;top:2371px;word-spacing:6px">

The Relentless Horde is the name given to the horsemen of the northern Flanaess when they united under the leadership of Kha-Khan Ogobnuk in (roughly) 320 CY. These were the ancestors of the present day Wolf Nomads and Tiger Nomads.

During the reign of Ogobnuk, the lands east of the Dramidj Coast and west of the Griff Mountains fell under the Horde's sway, although much of the gains to the east were lost by the time of the Horde's disolution. The Horde failed to conquer Blackmoor, but did cut the northern archbarony off from the south, leaving it isolated. The push eastwards drove the Rovers of the Barren before them, the nation unable to keep pace with the agile nomad raiders. Adapting to the new warfare the Rovers eventually pushed back, costing the Horde its gains in the Rover's lands and and pressing them hard on the Dulsi Plains as well.

The Relentless Horde also made gains in the Sepia Uplands, where they drove out or slew the human inhabitants of the region. The dwarves and gnomish locals proved more stubborn and managed to drive off the nomad invaders, with heavy losses.

When Kha-Khan Ogobnuk finally died in 345 CY the Relentless Horde died with him. The nation split in half, although the two new nations are still bound by their cultural and language tradition.
