The Endless Sky
Needs the Khans of the Steppe DLC.
The migratory movement of a nomadic people is an incredible sight to behold — a living, thronging sea of lives and livestock, venturing vast distances in search of pasturage. The seemingly endless hoofbeats of their herds and flocks beat like a war drum, a reminder to sedentary neighbors that the hordes could strike at any moment! For what are such wandering tribes if not armies forever on the march? The world of the sown lies ripe for any chieftain courageous enough to claim its bounty. Will you lead your tribe beyond the endless expanse and carve out an empire from horseback?
