Black Tulgarians
There have always lived tulgarians in Jereman. Some have belonged to tribes in Tulgar, and some have been outcasts. Most intermarried with Trimanians, but a few retained their traditions and language.
When Frakians last attacked Triman, the kniaz of Jereman not only called them to arms as before, but formed a separate unit of the best tulgarian wariors. For valor in battle they were rewarded with a flag: a black horse on a yellow circle on a black background.
They became known as the Black Tulgarians and followed kniaginia Olga in battle against the tulgarian invasion.
After the fall of Vostokograd, there was much enmity against tulgarians living in Jereman, except for the Black Tulgarians who were perceived loyal to the late kniaginia. Many tulgarians in Jereman started therefore to call themselves Black Tulgarians to show they were the “good” tulgarians. This was supported by the kniaz of Drevnedub, that accepted any tulgarian proclaiming to be a Black Tulgarian as a part of the unit.
Black Tulgarians are today used about any tulgarians that live in Jereman, worship Svarog and are more loyal to Triman than to Tulgar. The elite Black Tulgarian unit resides in the north-east of Jereman, tasked by the kniaz of Drevnedub, who they are more loyal to than to the atamans of Jereman, to guard something precious in Kobold infested territory.
Cigani
The Cigani is a traveling people from Tulgar. They are not seen as tulgarians by themselves or by tulgarian tribes and are often insulted if trimanians call them tulgarians.
They have their own religion where they claim that Svarog was not the first god, which brings them often into religious quarrels with the church. At the same time, the Church Elder has proclaimed that they are not demon worshippers and prohibited persecuting them.
This people has been coming to Jereman for the past 50 years or so, and after Vostokograd fell, they have been seen more and more often in the rest of Triman.
They most often are traders, redsmiths, gilders or entertainers. A group of Cigani was invited by the kniaz of Drevnedub to perform at his court after his militia retreated from Jereman.
