[b]"The Kossovite Dervishes emerged from the frost-bitten steppes of Kislev, a realm caught between the ferocious tides of Chaos and the stalwart civilizations of the Old World. Descendants of hardy steppe nomads, the Dervishers combined a deep-rooted tradition of survivalism with unyielding faith in Ursun, Dazh, and the other gods of Kislevite pantheon. Their origins lie in desperate times: bands of displaced warriors and civilians driven from their homes by Chaos raids who, rather than retreating to Kislev’s cities, embraced a transient life on horseback, weaving faith and ferocity into a singular ethos. They became more than soldiers—pilgrims with a sacred mandate to harry the enemies of Kislev, their lives a living sacrifice for their frozen homeland.

Cultural life among the Kossovite Dervishers is austere yet vibrant, steeped in rituals that bind their wandering bands together. Each warrior is clad in an eclectic mix of armor, cobbled together from scavenged plate and leather, ornamented with talismans and animal pelts believed to ward off malign spirits. Their favored weapons are swift sabers, crude firearms, and whirling bolas used to disarm foes before closing for the kill. In battle, they are terrifyingly fast and evasive, their bond with their hardy Kislevite ponies forming an almost preternatural partnership. Songs, stories, and chants echo across their campsites, lamenting losses, celebrating victories, and invoking the gods’ blessings before each skirmish. The Dervishers’ spiritual practices are as much an armament as their blades, their fervent devotion capable of inspiring allies and unnerving even Chaos marauders.

Looking to the future, the Kossovite Dervishers walk a precarious path between grim skepticism and hope. They hold little faith in the promises of Kislevite rulers, whom they see as distant and out of touch, yet they fight fiercely to preserve their nation’s soul against the ever-encroaching darkness. Their worldview is pragmatic—survival and defiance against overwhelming odds are the greatest victories they can imagine. Yet, a glimmer of hope persists in their belief that their wandering sacrifices may ultimately secure a future where Kislev no longer teeters on the brink. This duality, of skeptical realism and fiery faith, shapes their daily lives, ensuring they remain both grounded in their hardships and unyielding in their mission.[/b]
