Polkan
Polkans are a kind of centaur, with the body of a Horse and the torso of a Human. They are native to the Steppes, and they rarely choose to settle anywhere else due to their fraught relationship with the more Established species, who have historically treated them as fancy horses.
Some Polkans are still enserfed as carriage bearers or field tillers, but most free Polkans only enter the north-eastern territories of Ketterzan to carry out raids. Polkans are considered Pendent Persons by the official person classification systems.

Cossack Polkans roam the Steppes, living as hunters and fishermen, avoiding the authorities of the Tzar and of the Colden Horde. They are the leaders of the Cossacks, a band of freedom-loving bandits, nomads and mercenaries that never turns away runaways from the neighbouring nations.
The Three Horsemen of Baba Yaga (Red, White and Black) are three magically-enhanced Polkan Cavaliers who have been tasked by the Witch Queen Baba Yaga to hold captive the aspects of her enemy, Zorya of the Aurora.
