Easterling Warriors are the main fighting force of the faction of Rhúdel. They wear Rhûnic Armour and fight using Rhûnic Equipment.

Behaviour

Easterling warriors are indifferent towards players and NPC's that are allied with their faction. However, upon seeing an enemy player, they will walk towards that entity and attack it.

Spawning

Easterling Warriors will spawn throughout the lands of Rhúdel. They will only spawn atop grass blocks and will not spawn underground. Sometimes, these warriors will spawn riding a horse, in which case, the horse will not be wearing armour.

Hiring

To hire these warriors, you will need to have at least 200 alignment with the Rhúdel faction, and 30 silver coins per warrior you want to hire. Of course, higher alignment will mean that your troops will be less expensive.

Advantages	Disadvantages
Good attack strength	No ranged attack
Average health	Rather costly
Can be mounted	Rather weak armour.

Drops

Easterling Warriors may drop a bone upon death. They will also occasionally drop a piece of their armour or equipment.
