Harssaf
Desert dwellers that fight to survive. They are one with the sand and thrive where all others perish. They rise and fall based on their survival skills and combat abilities. They possess many powers related to the heat of the desert and the sand around them.
Beings of Fire and Sand
A harssaf has a somewhat reptilian face with slitted red eyes that seem to glow. Their skin is brownish red and feels rough and grainy to the touch. They have very long fingers and both sexes stand about 6 feet tall and weigh about 190 pounds. Harssafs are typically dressed in sand-colored clothing. They live in the hottest deserts and hate the cold. They can turn into sand and burrow into the ground.
Desert Nomads
The Harsaaf travel through the harshest deserts as they kill and plunder. They have harsh demeanors and will kill anything or anyone that threatens their survival without hesitation. They are beings of order in a world where there are finite resources and most matters are matters of life and death. They choose the path to survival every time even if that means losing a battle or even an ally if pressed.
Casted Society
In Harsaaf society there are tenders and scouts. Tenders are non combatants that are lower than scouts and are not respected and spend their time doing chores and raising children and working. Scouts are warriors and leaders who make up the bulk of the race. Tenders can go through trials to become scouts or return to being a scout if they became a tender through injury, dishonor, or pregnancy.
