The Akrynnai (or Ak'rynnai[1] or Keryn)[2] were a people from the central plains of the continent of Lether. They occupied the lands of Ak'ryn between the D'rhasilhani and the Awl. Over time, they had successfully fought off invasions by the Letherii Empire, the Awl, and the D'rhasilhani.[3]
The Akrynnai claimed sovereignty over the "Kryn Freetrade Lands".[4][5]
'Sceptre' was the title which the Akrynnai used to refer to their Ruler-Warleader.[6][7]
They were mainly known as traders and merchants,[8][9] although Tanakalian of the Perish Grey Helms described the Akrynnai as being "spike-haired, endlessly singing, spear-waving barbarians".[10]
In Reaper's Gale
As their justification for massacring the Awl and seizing the lands of the Awl'dan, the Letherii Empire invented rumours of a warmongering alliance between the Awl, the Akrynnai, the Bolkando, the D'rhasilhani, and the Saphinand Kingdom. The belligerent Horde of the Bolkando Conspiracy was said to be readying to march on the empire's eastern territories. In truth, the Awl despised the Ak'rynnai.[11]
In Dust of Dreams
The White Face Barghast started a war with the Akrynnai which was completely unprovoked.[12][13] These hostilities had dire consequences for both the forces of the Barghast, and for the Akrynnai and their allies[14] who were under the overall command of 'Sceptre' Irkullas.[15]
