Where there were once simple farmers, traders, craftsmen, and nomadic folk of Vetus mundi, now stands a group of mighty warriors who aim to bring success and security to their Great Khanate.

Look and Feel
Look and Feel:
The original Vidarians are mostly inspired by Turko-Mongol and eastern nomadic tribes(such as Huns, Scythians, Cumans, ect.), but due to taking in refugees and immigrants, their armies may be mixed in cultures. Many vikings have made their way into the Khanate. Most Khanate members wear red with their kit to show dedication to the Khanate, though it is not usually required. All members of the faction wear a red belt flag with a sword on it as their emblem.
What type of players/play style might enjoy this faction:
The Vidarians are made of fighters to protect and expand the Khanate and diplomats to deliver messages and gain support. All types of players are welcome, the Khanate it filled with both relaxed and dedicated players.
