We lived for countless generations in the Great Sands. We were forced to explore all the angles and think all permutations through. We could not waste. It was a matter of survival.

History
We lived for countless generations in the Great Sands. We were forced to explore all the angles and think all permutations through. We could not waste. It was a matter of survival. By no other means could one live in such inhospitable places. Nonetheless the desert was our home. We learned to live there. And in general, no one else wanted it, which was to our advantage. We were naturally interested in learning the way things were done in other lands. The function of government, the advancement of craft, the development of skill and knowledge are things we have studied in the surrounding lands. But always, we returned to our home, feeling secure in it.
In the not so distant past, ogres and men invaded our spaces and enslaved those that were not quick enough to react. We fought, but in vein. Normally, we would be able to defend ourselves.

Application
For many lifetimes we lived in the sands beyond Nagnang's west wilderness border. The great upheaval launched us without choice, to the lands of the east. We have found a new home within these lands, with the grace of Prince Kija.
We are a warrior tribe. The development of mind and body are important to us. We practice a form of martial arts known as Farando. We are survivalists. We are pragmatic and believe that all things many be of value potentially. We tend to be reserved and devoid of much outward emotion, save in combat.
Many have yet to return to our fold. Others that are like-minded, wish to dwell among us perhaps. You may do so if are a Nagnang resident, crime-free (council discretion) and can endure the 'five trials'. If you have made enemies of a guild, you may be required to explain that.
