Jegrude

The Jegrude, known in their own language as the Gdegrudeir, were a small society of herder-foragers living mostly in southern Omba during the Empire. It is generally agreed that their language is related to Enskrai, spoken today in Umnaka. In 135 IE, several hundred conquered Jegrude were moved from their homeland to southern Khutu, including the territory that is now Naftusa Province, to work as labourers on construction projects. There, several country lineages that are still in existence, including the Cheskai and Rarduzu are believed to have descended from the Jegrude.
