A lideri, literally ‘leader,’was a Vedmedi noble in Vedmed and later during the Narozalic Empire. Lideri were wealthy landowners who served underneath a Mepe. Lideri would not only advise the Mepe on important matters of state but they would also serve as military leaders and would typically provide the bulk of the early Vedmed Military. By the 19th century Lideri would be used to refer to Vedmedi cavalryman in service with Narozalica.
Lideri would play a major role in shaping the early Vedmed Kingdom but by the end of the 16th century they were in decline as they were being replaced more and more by civil and military administrators. During the Naro-Vedmedi War many Lideri would defect to Narozalica, securing their once lost position within the Vedmed and would go on to serve in the Narodyn military. Overtime with the growing need for more cavalrymen the term Lideri was expanded to include all Vedmedi cavalryman in service with Narodzalica.
