On a side note, I have laboured hard over these recent years to not bow to the coersion of the self-appointed Thought Police espousing what they quaintly call Political Correctness. If a referee wishes to integrate villainy into his campaign, against whom all valiant heroes must inevitably strive, then so be it. It is preposterous to mandate that referees, in the process of creating formidable antagonists for the players, must not base foes on historical antecedents. The RL inspiration for the Afridhi (if I may be presumptuous enough to nominate them) are hardly angels, based on the lurid tales of the atrocities inflicted upon the doomed Elphinstone Column in the winter of 1842.
Since we are basing them on historical groups rather than modern ones we should probably be fine. Also, the Skandaharians are generally equally evil and based on my ancestors so that should defeat most arguments.
My concerns have less to do with Political Correctness and more to do with a general wish not to offend people, but what the heck

I am interested in hearing more about these groups you are referring to and I think they could be very useful in expanding upon the Afridhi
