Grey warriors are clanless former Tsurani soldiers, the houses and families they served been obliterated. Without a House to serve, and without their masters' leave to take their own life honorably, they lived without honor, purpose or identity and usually banded in the mountains and raided nearby towns. They owed their names to the lack of a House color. Just before the rift collapsed, several gray warriors slipped from it into Midkemia. Lyam I and Inchindar granted them freedom and new status there.
