Attilans of both genders tend to be bandy-legged and long armed, with broad shoulders and piercing eyes. Some Attilans sport long braids or tangles of hair, and many Attilan men sport impressive moustaches that fall across their craggy faces. The Attilans themselves are a hardy, passionate, small-framed people with nut-coloured skin, black hair and eyes, and striking, weather-beaten features. It is here that the Attilans have their government, their main trading centres, and the small, barely tolerated Imperial and Ecclesiarchy missions. There is only one city on Attila, the bustling metropolis of Khanasan.
At the very extremes of the continent, all along its long coastline, are dense forests of tall evergreens. This scant habitable area is defined by a stunning array of rolling plains, soaring mountain ranges, deep inland seas, and powerful, rushing rivers. The steppes and savannah for which the planet is known ring this central desert, and are home to nearly all of the planet's population. Brutally extreme in its temperature variations and weather patterns, it is a baking desert during the summer season and a howling, icy expanse of sand, snow, and wind in the winter. At the centre of Attila's single continent is a vast desert. Its single continent spans nearly half of the planet, with the rest being deep, impenetrable seas. Attila is a rugged and striking world, slightly smaller than Terra, dominated by broad, arid steppes. For centuries they existed like this, perfecting both their ways of war and the breeding of their unique horses, until the Imperium rediscovered them and began bringing them back into the Emperor's fold. Only towards the continent's coasts does the grassland give way to verdant forests, encircling the entire continent with a thin arboreal fringe.Īttila's society was once composed of fractured, scattered nomadic tribes who spent their lives herding their animals and warring with one another for food, land, horses, and dominance. Between these deadly lands of the continental centre and the more habitable coasts is a belt of rich savannah lands thousands of miles deep, punctuated by mountain chains, mighty inland lakes, and vast rivers. The centre of this massive landmass is prone to such extremes of temperature that it remains uninhabited, a baking desert in the summer which becomes a sub-zero sea of sand and snow over the winter. This world possesses a single continent that covers almost half of its surface. In winter time, they retreat towards the outer grasslands abutting the coasts, and there their animals find enough grazing to keep them alive until the year turns. During the summer months, the Attilans drive their herds towards the heart of the continent, following the spring thaw in search of new grown pasture. The Ovigors' rich flesh and dark blood form the basic subsistence diet of the steppe tribes. They subsist on the herds of Ovigors, gigantic, shaggy and savage animals native to Attila. The bulk of the population are nomads who keep their herds across the vast steppe-lands. This bustling metropolis is a gathering place for the nomadic tribes of Attila and the centre of its government. The original landing site of the colony, the capital of Khanasan, has grown into the only city on the whole world. Humans colonised Attila many thousands of years ago during the Dark Age of Technology and adopted a nomadic lifestyle almost immediately.
This barbaric world is also the homeworld of the famed Rough Riders of Attila Mounted Regiments of the Imperial Guard.Īttila is a Feudal World that is somewhat smaller in size than Terra. Attila is a Feudal World of the Imperium of Man located in the Ultima Segmentum that maintains a late Iron Age civilisation and almost no advanced Imperial technology.
