	Centuries ago, the [[hakima]] began to gather Freeborn who had been disowned and turned them into a fighting force. By serving their tribe the Freeborn were able to find a way to redeem themselves. These groups were called [[kohan]], meaning without family, and their number has grown considerably over the years. Although they still accept those who have been cast out, most kohan are volunteers, individuals who find such joy in battle that they cannot give it up. They fight for the joy of battle, flinging themselves into combat with a blood-thirsty relish that can easily dispirit an enemy. Kohan often adopt flamboyant costume and grotesque body paint, the better to unnerve their enemies. When they are not fighting they are usually found celebrating their continued survival with that same intensity.

	Months of wrangling with the people of [[Varushka]] over the use of the [[Varushka_military_concerns#The_Army_of_the_Iron_Helms\|Iron Helms]] led to a major rift between the armies of the two nations.

As a consequence, whenever a Freeborn army is involved in the same campaign as a Varushkan army, the Vaushkans provide a tenth fewer [[Campaign_outcome#Victory_Points\|victory points]].
