Before the coming of darkness, these proud and insular folk dwelled in small villages perched on small hills that overlooked vast swaths of rolling plains. They made their way through existence as simple farmers and herdsmen, and rarely interacted with travelers that ventured through the pathless wilds. However, the Curse forced them to flee their ancestral lands, as a sea of shadows engulfed their livestock, and creatures of untold horror emerged to prey upon both herd and herdsmen.
It was commonly believed that the plains dwellers were simple folk, toiling in the fields or chasing after their goats. However, when they were roused to action, their mounted warriors were seen as fierce and insurmountable. With lances and bows, they were often seen as a devastating force upon the battlefield… when you could keep them from fighting among one another over some family or village grudge.
One tradition that stretches back into the mists of time is for Erdanians to wear a single braided cord around one wrist if they are single, as a symbol of their ties to their people and their village. Often these braids will contain strands of particular materials or colors that represent their village or family. When an Erdanian is bonded to another, they wear a braid similar to that of their partner on the opposite wrist.
Racial Requirements: The Erdanians are known for their simple clothing, which is often of earthen tones, and they all wear braided cords around one or both wrists.
