Crainers

Crainers are a semi-nomadic and semi-militarized people group originating in Craina, speaking the Crainer dialect and consisting overwhelmingly of Humans (but also Half-Orcs, Half-Elves and even some Lizardmen).

While nominally under the suzerainty of the Kingdom of Etrand, the Crainers live on the very southernmost (more specifically South-Eastern) boundaries of the Kingdom - called Craina -, which is considered "wild and ungovernable" land constantly beset by Orcish raids - as such, the Crainers enjoy a high level of de facto autonomy, complete independence from the feudal system, at the cost of duty to serve as border guards and irregular troops (mostly cavalry). While formidable warriors, Crainers also have a bad reputation for having little respect for written laws, often degenerating into ordinary brigands and bandits when off-duty, or deliberately provoking both the Orcs and the royal authorities alike by conducting unsanctioned raids.
