Mount & Blade 2: Banner has announced its latest faction: the Aserai. Based on the tribes that thrived prior to the Arab Conquests of the seventh and eighth century, a typically comprehensive blog post from developer TaleWorlds details their history, lore and combat capabilities.
Within, we learn that the Aserai are comprised of minor factions, much like all Bannerlord cultures. Their scale and institutions don’t necessarily fit Bannerlord’s political system, do they are “hard to rule and dangerous to traverse.”
Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord does not have a release date yet.
