Raiding what, exactly? Maybe a small farm, but Ethium is literally 99% underground

Rp Nation Name: The Qizalmites
Race (Human, Elf, other): Mostly humans, though there is the occasional elf.
-Nation
Population (no more than 5 million: 48,000
History and Culture: Established after Hormuz began preaching about the imminent destruction of the polytheists, the Qizalmites fled west after the Wadhwa Sultanate began forced conversions of those who did not adhere to their religious beliefs, including other monotheists. The mountains offered the safety they desired and, after a brief period of great uncertainty, the Qizalmites established the city of Qizal, for which they are named after. Other cities have arisen throughout the mountains west of the Sultanate, home to the entirety of the Qizalmite population and hosting other peoples of a myriad of different nationalities, though followers of the Great Heretic face severe persecution.
The faith of the Qizalmites is a very egalitarian monotheistic faith, centered around the key belief that the various races of the world had once loved one another, living in peace before the corruption that came. The Great Lord Khurram, who had given all peoples the ability to choose their own destiny, bore witness to the corruption of the world by the hand of the Wicked One, a being made of pure evil. Taking advantage of free will, he deceived the peoples of the world, leading them astray and bringing great suffering to the world. Shamed, Khurram exiled himself, though he soon returned to lead the world back into the light through the efforts of the Qizalmites.
The Qizalmites are big on purity, going through complex rituals in order to purify themselves before offering prayers to Khurram. However, the faith also stresses that because the world is full of suffering, it is only right to enjoy all the pleasures in life that one can, within reason of course. As long as it causes no one pain, it is allowed. Free love is common among the Qizalmites, along with the practice of polygamy, polyginy, and the drinking of alcoholic beverages. There is no such thing as an eternal place of suffering for those who sin, for the Qizalmites believe in reincarnation and that the suffering of mortality in itself is a big enough punishment. However, for those exceptionally good peoples, there exists a heaven to which they ascend to, a place of great beauty and pleasure, devoid of suffering.
Red, and its various shades, is revered among the Qizalmites as a holy color. It is common to see the color worn by all Qizalmites, though it is especially known as the color of the brutal Qizalmite warriors, who wear red sashes, cloaks, and capes into battle.
Location:[b] Spread throughout the mountains west of Wadhwa Sultanate, with the city of Qizal located in the mountains nearest the borders with the Sultanate.
[b]Ruler: Hormuz Raisani, born to a particularly powerful Shahin chief on the eastern portion of their native desert, was said to have been born on a tranquil night under supernatural circumstances. It is rumored that a blood red comet shone brightly on that night in the sky, foretelling his future holiness, but these are rumors. Nevertheless, Hormuz rose to prominence quickly among his clan, one that was greatly feared by its neighbors, and it appeared that he would have been destined to leading his clan to numerous victories over the lesser clans. However, this did not happen.
At the age of twenty, it is said that Hormuz had received a vision while out riding on a hunt, a vision foretelling a great calamity, as well as proclaiming the true faith. In the vision, a great red dragon appeared to him, telling him of the greatness of Khurram, the true god, who had been known to the Shahin as the fire god Aktar and of the destruction that would face the polytheists at the hands of one of their own. When he asked the great sanguine beast if it was himself that would bring forth such destruction, the beast laughed, saying that he would be the one to bring about their salvation. Snapping back into reality, a greatly disturbed Hormuz rushed home, seeking solace among the holy men of the clan. He was met with open arms, but it soon boiled away into hostility as he told them what had happened. Embittered but respectful, Hormuz left, deciding it best to forget about the whole ordeal.
As the campaigns of Akshobhya Wadhwa started to grow in viciousness and size, Hormuz was reminded of the vision of the dragon. Though he was now in his late forties, the dragon had returned to him several times in the last twenty years, instructing him on the tenets of the true faith. Now, as the Heretic encroached further east, Hormuz began preaching about Khurram and the true faith, declaring that those who would not listen would be destroyed by the Western Heretic. Though the Shahin initially branded him a heretic as well and persecuted him and his small number of followers, they started to flock to him as the Western Heretic began to inflict serious defeats on the armies of the polytheists.
When the clans finally United to attempt to defeat the Western Heretic, Hormuz rushed to join them. Though his army was small, he did manage to win some initial victories over the heretical forces, but he himself was eventually forced to retreat. As the last of the polytheists were destroyed, Hormuz resigned to accept the overlordship of Akshobhya, thinking he would spare a fellow monotheist. However, when this proved false and Akshobhya began forcibly converting all those who did not bow to his god, Hormuz led his followers into exile, heading west. Fleeing into the mountains, Hormuz and his followers established a small settlement, naming it Qizal. Soon after, his followers would be known as Qizalmites, after their first city.
Hormuz spends his days now looking for a way to save the souls trapped within the newly established sultanate, whom he considers to be based on corruption and inspired by demons. He has a deep hatred of Akshobhya.
-Military
Military Population: 7,400 warriors
Common Soldier equipment: Though lacking an organized fighting force and standard equipment, the warriors of Khurram are at the most basic level armed in the following ways:
Infantry - Rudimentary chain mail, some times scale chest pieces, accented with basic shin guards, small to large shield, and a pointed helmet. For weapons, they are armed with whatever they own personally, be it axes, swords, spears, maces, halberds, or knives. Archers are included in the general infantry, armed with whatever bows and arrows they can find, though they are usually less heavily armed, preferring thick cotton armor or leather tunics.
Cavalry - There are few to no use for cavalry in the mountains, though a small cavalry force is syllable maintained. These men are more heavily armed than the mountains infantry, sometimes wearing plate armor, though it is often limited to the torso. Scale armor is more common. They carry into battle axes, lances, and swords, though the mace is used occasionally. Even the horses are armored, covered head to hoof in scale or chain mail.
Khurram's Chosen - These men are rarely seen on the field, though they are feared nonetheless. Their armament is currently unknown, though it is said to rival that of the knights of the strongest countries. What is known, however, is that at the tops of their helmets are four blood red feathers.
Strengths: They excel in guerrilla warfare and are brutal fighters, very capable in small attacks and brief battles.
Weaknesses: Few in number and lacking many supplies, they wouldn't stand a chance against a regular army in a protracted battle.
