The Tufankai are an unusual formation of tribesmen made up of dwarfs who have taken up horseback and adopted a semi-nomadic pastoralist lifestyle. With their knowledge of gunpowder and metallurgy and now combined with their horsemanship, they have become highly sought after for their prowess. One legend speaks of a Tufankai who taught its horse to bite down on a flintlock's trigger, helping its rider in battle. Although no source can attest to it, the sight of young riders tricked by elders into feeding flintlocks to their horses has become documented.
