Coluhs
This people inherited the demonym of Coluhmus, but they are all the humans from the Desert of Resma.
The Coluhs began to be formed since the final of Third Age, after the creation of the Desert when Resma was defeated.
Because of the harsh sun and few covers, the Coluhs started to adapt them selfs for this conditions. They have more resistance against the sun and their body is stronger to walk through the sand.
Most of them has a great connection with each other. They know that, if they want to stay alive, they need to stay together. This feeling made them form their tribes. The majority of this tribes are nomads, but a few could gather and begin the formation of Coluhmus.
Nowadays the Pillars City is the center of the Desert, so, most of the nomad tribes went to the city from month to month trading what they get from the Desert.
These are a strong people that survived Ages in one of the most dungerous places in Alveus.

Culture
Common Customs, traditions and rituals
The Coluhs is a people that do not like the accumulation. Someone who has many thing and don't trade it in some years is take as a "troublemaker", as if they don't want to help the Coluhs to survive the Desert. That happens because someone could be needing something that those persons has.
Thats why it is very common to see the nomad tribes going to Coluhmus to trade what they found on the Desert. Many of them wouldn't accept gold in exchange, just something that could be useful for them.
Funerary and Memorial customs
The Coluhs has the tradition to cremate the persons who dies. This tradition has being internalized by the Coluhs because of the risks from the corpses. They could attract the Desert creatures or deseases in the sand. Even inside the
walls of Pillars City this rite is made.
Some Coluhs do this tradition even if they are out of the Desert, as a memory of their past.
Ideals
Beauty Ideals
The coluhs learned how to see beauty in everything. This are one of the most happy people of Alveus. A good team work to do anything is something that they really enjoy and is good to see.
Any animal living is a reason to stop and watch them walk. The water... when a Coluhs see a rain for the first time is like a child seeing magic for the first time, is just amazing. This people understand that the world is such a mess that you can not waste a chance to enjoy something that is worth being appreciate.
Gender Ideals
They believe that everyone need to choose their path. So, no woman is forbidden to fight or to being a explorer. Nobody is forbidden to do anything, they just need to tread their own path. So, there is not a gender role to be followed. They need everyone to fight for their lives against the desert, so, it would be a waste of time to curb the people.
Relationship Ideals
The idea of family, in this society, covers everyone that be with you while your growth. So, there isn't a real shame about have a relationship with your "family". And, also, there is no marriage. So, you can be with anyone that you would like, but, there is rules about having a child.
In the nomad tribes, the elders of this tribe choose who you can procriate, even if he/she is not your consort. This is not taken as a "relationship", so, it is normal to the persons choosen to procriate with someone else, after having the child, return to their previous consort. The child is raised by one of the persons who made that kid, as the elders comand.
In Coluhmus, the Elder Council make this decisions for all the population of the city.
