Garrios

Description
Garrios is one of two wild frontiers within the Empire. Life in Garrios is punishing due to constant incursion by Dather raiding parties who take resources and slaves. Due to its large expanse and the constant threat of attack the people of Garrios have a strong horse-culture. The land itself is not the most fertile in the empire, being composed of large quantities of volcanic stone. Despite this the ash that sometimes falls from the Fireclaw Peninsula has been used for farming and offsets some of the difficulties of working the land.

Ruler
Garrios is under direct rule by Prinz Valdemar, youngest son of the current Monarch Kaiserin Olga.

Religion and Culture
Culturally, the people of Garrios being under the control of the royal house typically follow the Twelve and in such difficult circumstances, religious adherence is high. Culturally, they also follow the general trends of the empire except for their affinity for horses and riding which is a strong element of their customs. Children are often paired with horses from a young age and a family's horses are often almost treated like children.
