The
general population of the Caliphate is known as the Mardoum
(literally: people), many of whom live within the cities but a good
number are to be found in villages and farms outside the protection
of their walls. Life in the Caliphate is ordered but harsh. Crops
fail, fires devastate homes, disease spreads in the cramped
conditions of the poor quarters of the cities and all this before the
evil plots of the Shaitun and Djinn work their ways.
The
Mardoum are often forgotten by the high born and the Bazaari care
only about the gold they can extract from them. Is it any wonder they
turn to local heroes from amongst themselves to save them from the
predations of evil? Blessed be the agent of the One Divine who cares
for the people.
