Paidareiks

Known for wearing richly embroidered cloaks, the Paidareiks were a small tribe of four clans.They lived along the Asdriag frontier, in the southeast of Rhovanion.They had no choice but to be valiant fighters, for they fielded only about 350 warriors.The Paidareiks preferred javelins to the bow and arrow] and enjoyed fighting in close quarters, in stark contrast to their [[Easterling adversaries.Their lands were south of the pastures of the Alciswardias, and their winter quarters were often raided by Men from  Gathod and Nurad.Attawulf, their chief, encouraged an alliance between his daughter Ermanagild and Thiudmari of the Alciswardias.  Following their marriage in 1630, the Paidareiks and Alciswardias tribes enjoyed a pact of mutual support and frequently exchanged  grazing rights.
