Barsh-yin-Binder
The Dragoonya were expert horseman who were known for imitating birds of prey, which they did by lining their clothing with falcon feathers and wearing helmets with sharp metal snouts that resembled beaks. They typically rode in hordes of several thousand strong, and as they made their way across the countryside and through the mountains, one could hear both the pounding of hooves and the violent flapping of feathers. Their brutality and seemingly miraculous ability to predict their opponent’s every move quickly made them the most important force in that vast northern region.
Not surprisingly, the Dragoonya easily sacked the city of Brash-yin-Binder and they either killed or enslaved the Kopalniks who lived there. As the Dragoonya tightened their hold over the city over the ensuing centuries, Barsh-yin-Binder became a city for thieves and ruffians, a place where people of questionable character came to gamble, steal, fight, and buy stolen goods of all varieties. The city itself fell into disrepair and the once beautiful golden domes became tarnished, gray, and sooty. A visitor today would never guess that this city was once the gem of all of Northern Asia.
