Krákafolk Warriors of Veteri
(view original)
Post a comment
Less than 100 years before Veteri the Restorer ascended to the throne in 3242 of the Second Age, the Kingdom of Krákaland disintegrated into warring clans, and shortly afterwards the ruler of the Geta dynasty was assassinated, beginning a period of interregnum.
One of the reasons for the downfall was the defeat near the Mouths of Entwash, where the Númenoreans, along with allies from beyond the White Mountains, smashed Krákaland's leading forces, which broke the fighting spirit of the folk.
Veteri realized that if he wanted to reclaim and hold his kingdom then he can no longer rely on tribal army structures. He started forming professional troops, disciplined and well-armed, which were to form the main strength of a restored Krákaland.
The warriors who joined these forces took his name as the name of their formations and proudly bear it even after his death, when under the command of his son, Erik II, they continue the war against the rebellious clans.
This is part of the mod's lore, which we wrote based on around three words which Tolkien wrote about people lived in Calenardhon in Second Age.

I'm getting ancient Thracian vibes from the Krákafolk. Love it!
I'm curious, what were these three words that Tolkein wrote about the people of Calenardhon? I can't seem to find them haha
From "Silmarillion" we know that Sauron had under control large part of west Middle-earth and seems that Calenardhon was under his influence.
In "Unfinished Tales" is info that people of Enedwaith fought against Numenoreans when they build Vinyalonde and next these tribes escaped on east. Later Sauron used these people to push them again against Numenoreans in his war with Elves.
In "The Peoples of Middle-earth" is short note that people of Calenardhon fought under Sauron banner in the War of the Elves and Sauron (I took this info from Tolkien Gateway, cuz in my country "History of Middle-earth" series isn't fully published yet and I don't have money to buy it when will be).
Like you see, informations are very limited xD
lol, still its amazing how you can make such awe inspiring models without much information, its a very hard thing to do im sure.
