| - Description:
Many things are to be feared in the desert: heat, poisonous creatures, wurms, running out of water, and possibly the most dangerous; the Nomads. The group appears to be unorganized, scattered about the region in small groups of usually less than 50. The truth, however, is that they are closely related to the barbarians tribes in other regions.
While scattered, all groups are able to contact their chief with little effort. This is so because, strangely, females are able to wield arcane magic with little effort. Women hold various positions within the Nomad community ranging from oracle to the chief to simple cooks. The society is ran by men, although it is widely believed by scholars that it is so because the women have no desire to run the tribes.
- History:
Little is known about the Nomad history, as few have been able to hear the legends passed down from generation to generation and been able to leave alive. Approximately 100 years ago, rather clever Halfing by the name of Grabi was able to speak freely with the Nomad chief. The chief led Grabi to believe that the Nomads were led into the desert by a spirit. The spirit told them they were to travel the harsh wilds, and keep out invaders. The Nomads see themselves as protectors of the last great natural realm.
