Roppsmenn

The Roppsmenn are a near extinct race of semi-nomadic barbarian people who once claimed the lands north-west of Kislev before they're eventual decline as a tribe and as a people. According to legend, the Roppsmenn entered Imperial history when they invaded the lands of the Udoses under the demands of the dreaded Norsii, whom they were forced to fight as slaves when they invaded and took their wives and elders as hostages. They were known to wear pattern cloaks of red and green with heads shaven except for long braids at their ears. Each fighting man was armoured in a mail vest and bore a small wooden buckler and a wide-bladed sword or scimitar into battle.

Following the death of King Wolfila of the Udoses, Emperor Sigmar lead a grand campaign against their people, resulting in thousands of their people being put to the sword, leaving only a single thousand of them, mostly woman and children to flee the lands and head to the northern lands beyond the River Lynsk. Ever since their foolish attack against the Empire, the Roppsmen were a broken people, living on the fringes of civilized lands, fearing the wrath of Sigmar's Empire and the northern tribes which dwell within Norsca.
