Considering the martial bent of even trading nomad cultures, what are the possibilities that cooperating with the People together against the northern nomads culturally reinforces the existing alliance?
Just remembered that I've been meaning to ask, has anyone written this down? Because this is exactly the kind of quote I want preserved in our histories for people the world over to partial quote out of context.
I'm not talking direct attacks i'm talking the largest refugee crisis we've seen.
I get that, but is there any possibility this will encourage, or at least set the groundwork for longer lasting cooperation with the Ymaryn in the future for them? Possibly a legacy or something along those lines.
This is what Nomads do.

Ok so basically when Gondor (descendants of a race of 'High Men' favored by the gods of the setting) were fighting servants of an ancient evil, they sent out messengers begging for help from wherever they could get it. One messenger went north, and he found Eorl the Young, and his clan of nomadic horsemen, the Eotheod. Knowing that if Gondor fell, the world would, Eotheod agreed to ride to the battlefield with almost his entire host- over 7000 horsemen. They made the ride of over 500 miles in about 9 days. (In-universe, its fairly regarded as a miracle) For their Big Damn Hero-ing, Eorl's people got the land of Rohan to keep (kicking out the dunlenders who lived there at the time- this is never really redressed) and became known as the Rohirrim. And ever since, whenever the foot-soldiers of Gondor needed a cavalry punch, it was the Rohirrim who came to their aid.
The Rohirrim were essentially the horse warriors of Rohan. They were elite riders and rangers. Rohan was a small human nation in middle earth.
