Bashurian
The ethnic group that lives in and around Bashur. They are among the last few of the South Hu-Balaiians that survived into the 1st century A.B because most of them were wiped out by the Guntartars. All these little kingdoms and tribes never surrendered and were massacred so much and so many times that most of them died and whoever remained assimilated in places like Bashur and Ushar and completely lost their culture and national identity.

Each god-dragon is different in it's looks and it's personality. Three stayed with the goddess of water, three stayed with the god of war, three stayed with the goddess of fire, three guide the king of Bashur and the last one, the plainest and the runt of the litter, traveled to a faraway land to seek his fortune.
