Who rules the Barbarian Horselords of the East?

I wonder who this mysterious, brutal figure could be. Is he a Genghis Khan or Attila the Hun type leader, a warlord who leaves a swathe of destruction behind him & his hordes? Surely he must be as intelligent & cunning as he is mighty, to rule a force that is capable of causing such attention to be brought to one side of the Empire, that the other side of said Empire was so underguarded that it split off to become Menoa.

They are ruled by a certain Khal Drogo.

 

Just kidding, i have no idea. There is so much lore which is literally unexplored, because there is no content available, or people simply didn't have the motivation to make missions for it. The pagans, for example. I loved those in the original Thiefs.

 

I imagine that the barbarians also have some kind of religious figure, like the pagans, and that they have brutal rites, and punishments for those not conforming to their codex. I would also imagine that they prefer their way of life, nomadism, and a free will, to the life in the cities, otherwise they probably would have already tried to force their way into those. Shame that there are no models for the Barbarians, i could imagine some interesting missions surrounding them. Still would prefer the Pagans though, as they're better integrated into the lore. I think, for the Barbarians, it's enough that they're some kind of threat for vendors outside the city.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
