The nomadic tribes of
the desert plains called the Bahari are a hospitable people who
travel from one oasis to the next, setting up makeshift camps and
trading with the caravans that pass them by. Their lives are
dedicated to raising sheep and goats for sustenance and they lay
claim to the wilderness between the cities and beyond the farmlands
of the river deltas. They protect these rights in a fearsome manner
and many a sheik has been humbled by the raiding parties of their
Dervish warriors whose spinning acrobatics and powerful prayers have
routed better armed opponents time and time again. They are devout
worshippers of the One Divine and merciless to those heretics and
sub-humans that cross their paths or think they can find shelter at
their oasis. Whilst their numbers are not what they once were, the
greatest threat to the Bahari comes from the lure of the cities to
their young who seek a new life beyond simple subsistence or constant
travel.
