Calarro Folk

The Calarro have always believed that freedom is the fire in one's blood, and to live without it is to wither and die. They were born in the sun-drenched hills and rugged plains of Encara, where they mastered the art of riding, of swordplay, and of dance. Passionate and fierce, they lived by their own rules, answering only to their family and their honor.

Thaedros took their horses, their cattle, and the beasts they had once tamed. But the Calarro have never let anything keep them caged. They were among the first to begin studying the native wildlife, learning how to break and train the creatures of this untamed world. Where others saw danger, they see challenges, and step by step, they have begun to carve out a new way of life, one beast at a time.

They are the first to ride creatures no one else dares to tame, the first to turn the untamed wild into something familiar. They will ride again, and when they do, they will remind the world that no land, no matter how wild, can break the spirit of those who refuse to be tamed.
