Chapter 50: The Husband Hunt (5)
Vikir wrinkled the bridge of his nose.
"...Passed?
I don't know what the hell that means.
But there was no time to ponder that.
Vikir searched his memory and guessed the identity of the barbarian girl in front of him.
Information about the Barbarian tribe of Balak flashes through his mind before he regresses.
#Balak #Civilized barbarians #Live in the highlands of the Red and Black Mountains #Population between 300 and 500 #Wolf-riding, bow-wielding hunter-gatherers #Friendship with the Empire is very low #Warriors of both sexes #Every single member of the tribe is highly militant....

The Balak were a barbarian tribe with few known personalities, though some of their names were known far beyond the borders of the mountain range.
The first name that comes to mind is Adonai the Archer, one of the greatest warriors the Balak have ever known.
He was one of the Empire's "Three Outer Calamities," and a chieftain at the height of Balak's power.
