Sklava

The city founded by Rugi, expanded by Slavs, and dismantled by Huns, is rebuilt. The descendants of steppe horsemen and Kutrigur Huns have settled themselves as a new kingdom, with their capital at Sklava. The elite of Sklava have formed themselves into a class of 'Baiars' that maintain a semi-nomadic lifestyle as steppe warriors, while their settled subjects, of mixed steppe and Slavic ancestry, have largely forgotten the skills of horsemanship, preferring to fight as spear-infantry. The Sklava have expanded aggressively, subjugating many neighbouring Slavs within the Hunnic Empire, and Uldin's lack of interest has caused speculation that he may approve of this expansion. The Sklava are still subject to the rule of Uldin, and are available as levies.
