Easterling clansmen are the basic fighting units of the land of Rhúdel. They are the equivalent of Gondorian levymen.
Spawning[]
Easterling clansmen spawn throughout their land, regardless of the time of day. They will only spawn atop grass blocks and (not being dwarves or orcs) cannot be found underground. They may spawn wielding all manner of Rhûnic equipment, along with bronze and iron.

Behaviour[]
Easterling clansmen defend their clan (family) from enemies heedless of their personal safety. They will not think twice about attacking those with negative alignment with them.
Hiring[]
Clansmen, being the lowest-level Easterling unit, can he hired by players even if the Easterlings don't completely trust them yet. They can be hired for the low price of 20 (
) coins a piece, and the low alignment of +150.
